Reel for salty fighter PE 0.8-2

Submitted by Rig on Fri, 2011-12-23 11:32

Hi Guys I am looking for a nice light spin reel to match my salty fighter PE 0.8 - 2.

I use it for some light soft plastic work for demersals and whiting fishing up to around the 50m mark.

I will probably spool with 30lb braid and looking to spend probably no more than $250

For the size reel you'd want (2500/3000 or maybe shimano 4000) 30lb is probably going to be a bit heavy? Better off going 20lb for the sake of the rod, and also the reel?

Probably best bet would be a sol, stradic CI4 or sustain? May be slightly over budget but see what a sponsor can do ;)

yeah budget can be a bit flexible, I have a kilometre of 30lb here so it would save me buying 20lb

i have the sustain 4k  and it's a good well priced little reel. couple more bearings than the stradic , which it replaced . (also a good little reel)
