VTBassman11 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I can get a Shimano stradic 2500 fj for $90, or the 4000 for $100 through a work discount. Should I consider any other spin reels at this price point or a little more? I currently own a 4000, but wouldn't mind changing it up for my other setup. Primarily using it for bass and pickerel in vermont/new england, sometimes pike. Pairing it with a 6'6" st croix MH fast action rod. Quote
MichiganFishing1997 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 In my opinion a 4000 is overkill, by a lot. A 2500 size should suite you perfectly. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 An FJ 2500 for $90?! No question, scoop it up. And welcome to the forums. Quote
Diggy Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The 2500 is more than sufficient. I watch my friend catch huge saltwater fish on that reel, that make bass look laughable, with absolutely no problems Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 2500 is a good size, I actually like their old 2000 size better, but 4000 would be overkill for bass. Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 24, 2014 Super User Posted January 24, 2014 If you're fishing for Pike only out or Emerald Lake then MAYBE the 4000. Even then the 2500 would work for 99.999999% of the fish in VT. Quote
