I am debating whether to get a true "UL" reel or get a smaller spinning reel, maybe like a size 1000 or something? It wont be really expensive or anything, like 30/40 bucks, but just wanted to hear some thoughts on UL reels. (mated to a UL lightning rod).
Look at Shimano reels in the 500 size...and match your budget to the particular model (sedona should fall into the high end of your range).
i'd get a true ultra light, it will balance ou the rod better. i have a Pflueger Trion for my ultra light, right in your price range as well. i think i got the 4lb 115yrd size......
Pflueger Trion
Yea I have the 4735GX model on my ML and I like it a lot for the price. looks beat up now after just a year but still as smooth as the day i took it out of the box!
What do you guys think of the cheaper Shimano line, like the Sidestab or the CX series? I'm feeling the price on those a bit more than the Sedona.
yeah, Pflueger's are really smooth (that's why i've got 4 of them ;) ).
never used those Shimano's so......
Also consider Okumas. I have one and I think you would be happy with one (They should fot right into your budget)The CXs suck and the Sidestabs are marginal at best.
im gonna see if i can snag a ebay priced sedona but if not ill probably hit up another gx-7 again.
thx for the tips all
I saw some real nice reels at outdoor Emporium that I am thinking of putting on my UL rod for anout 35 bucks... By the way I am going to my 2nd interview there on wednesday......
good luck getting the job koke!
what kind of reels koke?
gl on the job! what is the job btw?
I want to say that they Were shimano but I am not positive on that, They do at least look very good, but how they feel and perform is another story....
I got a sedona 750 for a decent price on ebay so barring any ripoffs I'm good to go!
thx everyone
Now waiting for my cabelas/landbigfish order to come in. I cant believe how much money I just spent on stuff, anyone know how to kill the baitmonkey? With the exception of line, I think I'm cutting myself off for the year buying any more baits (yea right...)
i've found that watching fishing shows, DVD's, and the Bassmaster classic doesn't help with the baitmonkey problem :oQuote:
