My 7' M/f Vendetta Needs Help!

[DogBone_384]

My Vendetta's reel holder is empty.  I've got it narrowed down to Shimano or Pfleuger and wanted to get some opinions from the audience.

 

I fish from shore (unfortunately, but that's life....) and have been using mostly t-rigged worms/Senkos because I never did when young and I want to learn as much as possible about their techniques.

 

My 'regular' spot is a reservoir about 3 or 4 acres, ranging from 3' to a reported 38', and has little in the way of surface growth so I'm open to any advice.

 

Thanks, very much, in advance....

spinning or casting rod?

[DogBone_384]

Sorry, didn't proof read well enough: spinning.

Are you prepared for the Shimano v. Pflueger slugfest that you're about to spark?

 

We've been awful civil recently. I think we're due.

I like Pflueger.

 

I also thing Jiff crunchy is better than the creamy, which is equally valuable information.

my vote is Pfleuger President, its $60 and a workhorse of a reel. ive had mine for several years and its still as smooth as the day i got it.  i actually had it paired wit a vendetta 7'M rod at one point and it balanced well.

 

you might want to also run braid with a leader, i found it made the vendetta more sensitive.

Good start.... But first a few more details: i'm not really on a budget, per se, but I generally buy mid/upper mid priced rods & reels since college tuition is only a few years away and retirement on the horizon.....

Thanks, and keep it coming!

BTW, slug fest is good - keeps everyone on their toes.

Stradic FJ would look sweet on the Veritas, not to mention it's a heck of a reel.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up with another Pfleuger, a Supreme this time. Stayed within my comfort zone.
