Best Reels you can get now??
Submitted by crasny1 on Thu, 2020-06-25 07:53
I used to love the reports on the current "market" leader or best reels we used to get routinely on this site.
But havent had anything I have noticed for ages.
I mostly use spin reels and still have a very good functioning Stella SW 8000 but would hardly use that down here in Mandurah, but it got a hammering in karratha.
Now using Shimano Stradic CI4's in a range of sizes for offshore Demersal, Whiting and YF Whiting flats lure fishing.
Just would love to here some critique on the types again.

Not much innovation or new
Not much innovation or new products lately.
About the only interesting development is Penn putting a fair bit more effort into their spin reel range.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

fishing reels
Check out the 2020 daiwa certates. very light but strong. Have knocked over 10kg pinkies no problem. would stop most offshore critters out off perth. next step up i reckon is saltiga BJ reels. Again super strong but light. These 2 reels are top quality. Still cant beat the old Stellas and Saltigas...

Must admit
I’ve always been an overhead person . I’ve bought a couple of penn egg beaters lately. Pretty impressed with them ( drags nice ) they feel smooth. Plenty of grunt . And don’t cost a fortune . Landed fair for dhues on them . Time will tell .
still trying

God I'm ancient I still have and use my USA made penn 850ss on one of my outfits and it does just fine. I do also have a stella 4000 which is alot more comfortable to use and very versatile.

In my opinion
Shimano talica. Can deep drop, troll, jig, bait fish, balloon, even surf cast with them. Built tough but also very very smooth. I think hands down the best bang for buck and toughest reel in the last 10 years or so.

Talica
I agree Talicas are awesome I have an 8 size, shimano OH have some of the smoothest drag
if you want a reel for bottom bashing then narrow spool is the way to go and tali a size 10 and up are a bit to wide compared to what else is out there
i have tried a 10 and 12 for this but they are no where near as comfortable as my marquesa 20 which has a far narrower spool
there are other options on the market too, most jigging type reels have narrow spools

There is too many reels on the market now days and they all claim to be better . I'm still using an overhead I got 12 years ago and occasionally my old sigma Shakespear that's about 35 years old gets a work it.
