lostproperty Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 So mum wants to spend 50 bucks on me for my birthday so it's without a doubt going to fishing gear, I'm currently using a Jarvis walker 2500 series reel with my carbon fibre rod and want to upgrade the reel to something a bit bigger and with a but more power, currently has 15lb online shop braid on it and works really well for spinning for Pelagics and flicking with plastics. I don't spend huge amounts in my tackle as I'm only 12 months into fishing and the Jarvis reel has been really good so long as I give it some oil every few months. My question is does anyone have one of these reels ? I picked one up and it felt really good not too heavy and at a really good price too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeb870 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 +1 for Shimano Sienna. I love shimano, so I always promote it. However, you will notice that the Shimano ax4000fb will have a cheap feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostproperty Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Remember I'm using a Jarvis walker 2500 reel atm guys... I felt like the reel felt good but in didn't have a Siena to compare next to. I have used one before and it felt a bit cheap maybe it was an older model ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooooled Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 its one of the best reels for its price can pretty much tackle aything, try them out and just go with what your comfortable with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 its one of the best reels for its price can pretty much tackle aything, try them out and just go with what your comfortable with I agree, for the money you can't go past it, I had one for 2 years and it never gave me any trouble, when I upgraded I passed it on to a mate who still uses it with no problems to this day.

lostproperty Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I had a feel of it the other day and compared it to this one and for my rod it felt too heavy because of the alloy body compared to the graphite body of the ax. We'll see how it goes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
