caine Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Everyone has at least one favorite reel that never gets left at home. I thought it might be fun and informative to know what every ones best and most loved reel is. Mine is a shimano stradic 6000FG, I’ve had it for 10 years and I find it excellent to use and easy to service. It has handled everything from bream up to small tuna. Reason I ask is I’m looking to add another quality reel to my arsenal, and I’m looking for ideas rather than get another stradic. i havn't been in the market for a reel for some time and don't know what is good and what is crap. Is the 2006 Okuma VS 30 a good one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACZ Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 i am a big fan of the TLD25 as well....in my mind sahara and aernos oceania series in the 6000 models (have 2 of each) are great reels...they r tough and great 4 reef fishing offshore!!...im not 2 fond of okuma...have had a few fail on me..would never buy one again.. i say stick to wats the best...shimano! cheers alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saqa Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 My stradic 4000 with 10lb fins and the spare aluminium spool with 20lb bionic. If I was only allowed 1 reel for a round Oz trip then this would be it. Can be used for just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
