Ultra-light Reels

[Ivo]

Hi Raiders,

I am looking to purchase a new reel to go with my 1-3kg bream rod. I would be looking at a 1000-2500 size reel to load up with 6-8lb braid. Anytips on what are some good entry-medium level reels, also any tips on braid as well would be great.

Shimano Symetre. I use them for all my light tackle work now. At just over $100 great value for money.

If going bream kind of fish then Shimano Sienna is great stuff for the money.

Daiwa Aird. I couldn't find a better reel for $100 than that.

If you can stretch the budget to a Stradic (Ci4 or FJ) you won't be disappointed. I have both a Symetre 2500 on a 2-4kg rod and a Stradic 2500 Ci4 on a 1-3kg rod and the Stradic is much much better.

I have a Shimano Stradic ci4+ 2500 and it is a great reel, it may be expensive but it truly is worth it.

Shimano Reels from top to medium range.
All good gear
2500 size Reel is what you want.
There is many other brands also these days!
Shimano Symetre ? bottom end ? NO...... if BOATTART says they are OK .... listen, it would be good gear.

ShimanoStradic CI4 $ 220 + ish Very nice!

Shimano Stella out of the budget range but VERY NICE STUFF
