    I’ll try them out, I’m a big zman and Berkley fan

    I think I might do what @bulldog1935 said, I think if I have a reel like this I should at least try to make good use of it rather than letting it sit the way it has for 40 years. I’d still keep all the old parts in case I decide to retire it and put it back on the shelf the with the original parts.

    Yeah this one does have a very large spool for its size.
  4. Jack Hanson
    That’s a lot higher than I thought I’d, shouldn’t be too bad.
  5. Jack Hanson
    Thanks, it will be very hard to get used to. If I can’t get used to it I’ll put it on the shelf for decoration.

    Mines SLIGHTLY faster than yours so I might give it a shot but it will be tough. I don’t know how the old timers caught fish using these slow reels, this reel used to be advertised as “high speed”.

    I found an old Abu Garcia Ambassador 4600 CB in my shed, my granddad had given it to me. It’s from the 70s or 80s. It’s gear ratio is 4.7:1, what could I use this reel for?
  9. Jack Hanson
    I’m fairly new to fishing, check back in two months and I’ll probably have 5-6 pounds of soft plastics.

    That’s a great bag, I have the same one for surf fishing.

    I fish some creeks, not too much. I have a light spinning rod with lighter mono line for throwing small lures in creeks.
  12. Jack Hanson
    Luckily I ordered 14.

    I think I’ll go with the 12-14lb suffix elite. Looks I can get a 350yd spool for only $9 so that sounds like a good deal to me.

    Thanks again @bulldog1935! You’ve been great help. I’ve tried a bait caster years ago with braid and the backlashes pretty much made me quit, I’m not sure what happened to that reel but I have the rod. Sounds like monos probably the best way to go right now
  15. Jack Hanson
    Ok, I might put on 15lb flouro because I have really clear water, I can tie on a short mono leader if I’m fishing top water, it will be a pain but I don’t fish top water too much. Eventually I would like to get another rod/reel so I can have one with mono and one with braid or flouro, just can’t afford that yet.

    Nice, I live in South NJ and at most lakes it’s all just weeds and grass when fishing from the shore.
