johnk Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi, my wife recently purchased for my birthday two live fibre fishing rods a RLF32 - 7' 1 piece 2-4kg rod and a live fibre RLF12 6'6" 1 piece 4-6kg rod. Was wondering what would be the best reel to match with these two rods - usually prefer Shimano reels. Any help would be appreciated. Will be using on mates baot predomiantely on Pittwater. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) How much do you want to spend? A Stradic in 2500 or 3000 would be the top choice if you are happy to fork out the $200 or $250 for the 2-4kg rod. Otherwise a Symetre is good value at around $130 although I do know one popular boating/camping store has them for $89 at present. Plenty of other good low-mid range reels up to the Stradic too. For the heavier setup my guess is a 4000 reel, possibly a baitrunner could do the job nicely. Edited November 7, 2016 by Mike89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnk Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Many thanks. seeing as though she has invseted significantly in the rods would like a qualtity reel also. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have a few Stradic ci4+ but just picked up 2 Raernium 3000. They are being run out at the moment, and are excellent value. 7 kg drag . Perfect for both rods. Do some research. They are hard to beat! Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Cheers for the tip on the Rarenium bluefin, I'm also in the market for a quality light spinning reel. Let us know what you end up choosing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
