BigHorse Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 G'day fishraiders, After visiting a local fishing store in toronto (i don't think i can give out names due to site rules....) i purchased an Abu Garcia KRK salty elite rod in an 2-5kg size due to it being 60% off and selling for $80 instead of $200! Now i have got the issue of finding a reel to suit this rod, ill being chasing species like flathead, bread, bass and even small jew on this set up so am looking for a reel around the 2000-4000 size to match the rod. My price range is up to $140, if i can't find anything good i will just go back to the sedona which i have fished hard for a year and hasn't shown any signs of wear. Thank you for the help!

Little_Flatty Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Nothing wrong with Sedonas, but if you want to try something different, search for the abu revo s and you should find it on sale for a tad more than $70. Get the 20 size (probably equivalent to a shimano 2500). Buy some braid and that will get you free delivery. I got one, and I’m quite happy with it. The white doesn’t exactly float my boat, but I can move past that… Nothing fancy, but gets the job done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Good buy on the rod. Stick with what you have & save your money. But there some good deals on reels at the moment. They will end shortly. Good luck with the new rod. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 As above, stay with the Sedona. Ideally the 2500 would suit your rod better than the 4000. Sedonas are a capable reel and simple enough in construction to be easily serviced fully at home if you’re that way inclined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I’m in full agreement with the others that have suggested the Sedona as they are a great reel. I also have several Daiwa reels in the LT range and they have been superb! Silky smooth drag and nice and light. There are some good specials on now at a well known fishing camping store and it may be worth your while taking your new rod in and testing the different options. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some flathead reports soon! 😎 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirvin21 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The shimano nasci are great every bit as good as a stradic and way cheaper 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
