Reel help

[Deathlyklown]

Had my gear stolen over chrissy only just getting new gear. managed to keep 2 rods but no reels
Has anyone out here tried the "Daiwa Laguna 5bi"? It will be for a 7ft 3-6kg rod.
Was thinking the 2500 with 8lb

Also looking at a cheap beach combo

Okuma Fish Australia Surf Combo - 12'

Sticking cheap need work. so hard to get work these day's lol

Sorry no links to catalogued items - I removed it

Sorry to hear you had your gear stollen! Hope some members help you with your queries!

No worries mate didnt relies just posted the name instead

Most good 2500 reels will suit your needs and 8lb braid is perfect.

The beach combo is ok if targeting the smaller species like salmon and tailor etc

Reel sounds good for the bucks, nice all rounder with that setup. It'll get you on the water again that's for sure

Okumas lifetime warranty is pretty solid, so for beach use that's a good thing any issues or damage from the harsh environment and they will probably swap it out, other bang for buck reels are the good old shimano sienna, tough as nails and easy to service your self, saves a few dollars in those cash strapped times.

Sorry to hear about your gear mate good luck!

Ok so I ended up with
Daiwa Revros 2500 with some 8lb braid

and for the surf

Rovex Air surf 12' 6-15kg

Fin-Nor Biscayne 80 with 30lb mono

Worked out cheaper because of specials and from what I can gather I got better gear
Thoughts?


Thanks for the advice as well
