Good all round O/H reel??
Submitted by Braxi on Wed, 2011-10-19 18:34
Hi,
I have a Tyrnos 16 that has been great for trolling and bottom bouncing. Holds plenty of line and a fair amount of drag to turn some solid fish. Has anyone else tried anything that is similar or better in that price range? I am happy with that but my mate is looking to get one and was asking what else was around. They are pretty well priced for the $250 from Motackle.

Another vote for the saltist
Another vote for the saltist ld 30, or 20. Light weight, well priced and quite versatile. I use mine more then any other reel i reakon

i like lever drags
had a torsa - fantastic reel but a bit heavy but can pull in anything.
I went down to a talica 8 and it is beautiful. If is small and light and does the job great with a surprising line capacity.
I would recommend either for sure.
