largemouth01 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I love my Daiwa Procyon ex 2500! it casts a mile and looks great but i would like to check out pflueger patriarch spinning reel. 1 Quote
raoka Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 im partial to the daiwa line of spinning reels have the lexa 2500 will probably pick up a procyon ex soon! Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 Shimano stradic of any variety and in the 2500 size. 1 Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 Quantum cabo 40, has the drag and line capacity of a 6000 but at a mere 13 oz, built better than tank. Pflueger trion 20, at about 8 years old it's the smoothest reel I own including the $200 ones. Quote
masterbass Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 When I rarely use spinning gear my 30 size pflueger president works great. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 Pflueger Trion or President in the 30 size. Quote
thehooligan Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Anything 1000 size from the stradic fj - Stella fe. For JDM shimano, the compact 2000 with shallow spools are sweet. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 My absolute favorite is a Daiwa Revros 2004 but my go to spinning reel is a Shimano Sahara 2500. Quote
Fishinthefish Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I have a patriarch, a polycon and a shimano stradic fj right now. Out of those three my favorite is the shimano stradic. It's not as pretty as the patriarch, it's not as common as the diawa. But it's much smoother, casts further and has been more reliable for me. It's paired with a st croix legend tournament medium xfast rod with 10lb power pro. 1 Quote
bassr95 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I have two Pfluger Presidents and I can't see myself ever needing a nicer or more expensive spinning reel. 2 Quote
Super User Scott F Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 Quantum Energy in the 20 size. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 I like the certate lineup. Bulletproof reels. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 30, 2015 Super User Posted May 30, 2015 Pflueger president 6930 with 6 or 8 pound test. Anything above 8 pound test I use casting gear. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted May 31, 2015 Super User Posted May 31, 2015 I have a pair of 2004 size Daiwa Certates. Doesn't get much better than that. 1 Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted May 31, 2015 Super User Posted May 31, 2015 penn feirce in the 2000 size had 2 of them for 3 yrs now they both pull double duty fresh and salt.also have a few 500albi size garcias i have had for 6 yrs little workhorse reels at 7 oz they can do ultra lite to light and have very smooth consistant drags Quote
EvanT123 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I really like the stradic fj in 2500 but the pfluger supreme 30 (I've caught most of my fish this season on it)is growing on me. I learned after wasting about 30-40 yards of braid not to fill the spool all the way up. I was getting wind knots like nobody's business for a bit but it's good now. Quote
d-camarena Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I really like my stradic ci4+ but my pflueger president does the exact same thing at a cheaper price. Gotta love the presidents 1 Quote
jtharris3 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Shimano Symetre 2500. I've been fishing with them for years. 1 Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Pflueger Supreme in 30 or 35. Every spinning rod I own has on one of these. 1 Quote
ColdSVT Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I only have two lol a stradic ci4+ 2500 and a stradic fi 4000 I like the ci4+ the best I use the fi for skipping and the occasional walk on shore Quote
tappinbass Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Pflueger president. Like it just as much as my Stradic Ci4 at way less money. Not as light, but just as smooth. Quote
