knuckle Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey all, Was after some opinions on matching a reel to the Tcurve Bluewater spin 10-15kg. I have not recieved the rod yet (santa) so matching a reel without putting it on the rod will be hard but i thought a few of you out there will have the rod and will be able to give me some advice on matching reels. Have been thinking about a Saltist or Saltiga 4500 size. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Cheers Knuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgod Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 stradic or sustain in the 6000 size maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummybusta Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 stradic or sustain in the 6000 size maybe second that thats the set up i have right now with the struddie bluewater 10-15kg spin and a stradic 5000 that said any reliable spin reel around that size will balance it nicely so i would say the daiwas, shimanos or abu soron's one thing i will say for sure THESE SET UPS ARE TOO MUCH FUN!

Not happy jan! look on the bright side by the time i do finally get it in a cpl of months i might be able to afford the saltiga. Cheers Fellas and merry chrissy to all.

Rafinx Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 actually he is right, with the aussie dollar buying 107 american cents, the stellas are cheap as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'd fit it up with an Abu Soron STX70 loaded with 40lb braid, the reel will handle it with ease. And they're under $200 from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knuckle Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hey guys thanks for the info it was greatly appreciated. I ended up getting a brand new 6500 saltist for $220. was looking at the stellas and saltigas but for that price i could not knock it back. All i need now is the rod!!!! Thanks again Knuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
