JustJames Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Below your price point, but I really like Shimano Sienna reels. Good enough to feel like a quality reel, inexpensive enough that I don't need to fuss over them. Post fishing I tighten up the drag and give them a fresh water shower...and that's it. Every now and then I contemplate buying something a bit more flash and then decide not to bother because I don't see what I would gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough i have considered it and wanted to get a combo with it for my old man and turn him into a lure fisher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyg78 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I have the miravel which is basically a nasci with and upgrade. They are great reels, on the daiwa side, you cant go past a freams, or the infeet x as a good value for money reel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faker Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 How much diff is there between a sedona and sienna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I’ve spooled a couple of siennas for friends and I reckon they are totally fine for bread and butter estuary fishing if you’re on a budget. All that said, if you have the money for a nasci, just buy that and go fishing😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R E G I C Y C L E Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Nasci is solid. You can also pickup a Daiwa Freams for $150 at the moment which i think is a great deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I end up getting freams. the nasci for 150 and a spare quickfire rod is a alright rod but i already have a 2-6kg rod and a 1-3kg rod that does its job.
