Niffa Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hey guys I'm after a new reel of the 1000-2500 size to chase Bass on my Pflueger Trion 7' 2-4kg 2p, any suggestion is helpful, thanks in advance Ronan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have a Shimano Stradic Ci4 in 2500 size on my Pflueger. Won't cost you 300-350 but that's not a bad thing. A better match for the rod really, not exactly a top end rod, but certainly mid range. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefin Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 There is a fishing guide in port macquarie who lure fishes all year round. First time we went out with him he was using and suggested the Stradic ci4+ Went back over 12 months later and he is still using the same reels and they still feel the same. I now have 4!

Niffa Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Great, what size should I get because im mainly using it for bass, was looking at the 1000. It has plenty of line capacity for what I'm using and its got a hefty 3kg of drag which is more than some of the daiwa 2000 sized reels . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Depends on you really. Keep in mind that the 2500 and 3000 are the same size reel. They don't come with 2 spools though. What I mean to say is that it would be ideal to have the 3000 with two spools, one with lighter braid and one with heavier. Most of the guys I fish with have the 1000 for bass , but I went for the 2500 as I tend to use my reels for a wider variety of fish, ie the same rod and reel I use for bass is used for salmon and bonito in late summer. The drag on the ci4 is lovely and smooth, I landed a nice bass out of the snags on Friday, my first on this reel and it really performed well.

Niffa Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 ok cheers because I have used the stradic ci4 original version (not the ci4+) and have wresled out a mid 40's fish from a pile of logs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgod Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Shimano symetre is a pretty good value for money option. Reliable and won't let you down have had mine for almost 5 years and it still doesn't miss beat. Joe B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDory Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My opinion only..... 1000. Light for casting and pleasure to use but you will get smoked now and then. .... Changed mind................... 2500 because of 9lb, 4Kg line yep 2500 better suited. Don't think i helped Raiders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
