lug Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Once in a while I like to mess around with an ulta light outfit. Looking for a better quality set up. What do you recommend? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 12, 2013 Super User Posted June 12, 2013 Saint Croix Avid AVS70ULF, $180. Shimano Symetre 1000, $100. The Avids come in several lengths, 4'6" to 7'. Quote
DaveT63 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I recommend the Avid AVS60ULF, about the same price, and the Stradic 1000. The Stradic can be found for a good price used to help you stay under the $300 mark. Quote
lug Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks, I'll pursue those options and check them out! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 13, 2013 Super User Posted June 13, 2013 A Stradic would be a great reel. In fact, I was going to recommend a Stradic CI4 Micro, but it would bust your budget. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted June 14, 2013 Super User Posted June 14, 2013 I went with the 7'2" Light/Fast Fenwick Riverrunner for my panfish rod. 4-8 and 1/32-5/16. I'm using white 832 10/4. Figured PP 10/2 would be a bit too thin for these old eyes. Reviews of a couple models in this post. http://forums.tackletour.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=30358 EDIT: Meant to mention my reel is one of Daiwa's older top-of-the-line models. Pretty sure rod was $109 shipped from a place in Oregon. Can't recall price of the reel, but for sure total for combo was less than $250, but think it was right around the $200 mark. Quote
