What reel are yall using for UL fishing

[Jkring]

Currently I'm using my zebco cardinal 3 and it's a really great reel but I might be looking into getting another reel. Anyone have any recommendations. Price doesn't really matter 

[Master Bait'r]

Price doesn't matter?  Stella 1000  

[I.rar]

1000 size Shimano or 25 pflueger. 

[fvogel67]

I've said it before,I'll say it again.Shimano Solstace 1000.Bought one last year for 23.99 at Cabelas.Easily one of the best reels I've ever bought.It was a clearance buy and I love it.I put it on a Abu Villian 6'9" Ml and that combo is always with me when I'm on the water.

[Dye99]

I really like the Abu Garcia Revo MGX 20. Ive been using mine for a few months now and Im pretty impressed.

[Goose52]

Ultralight spinning reel? 

Primary: Pflueger President - 20 size

Backup: Shakespeare Sigma 025 (1980s vintage)

 

[Darren.]

For a UL reel, I'd actually go for a 500 size
Shimano. I use 1000 size for bass fishing
all the time. But it is suitable for UL and L
fishing, too...obviously.

[desmobob]

Shimano Symetre and Sahara; 500 size.  They have been great reels for the money and I have no complaints.

Tight lines,

Daiwa 1500CU with a Penn 430SS on tap.  New?  I don't know.  Would take considerable research.  Plenty of nice reels in many price categories to chose from.  Doubt I want to spend more than $100 on a reel that wouldn't be seeing a lot of use.  Maybe an Orra, Fuego, Supreme XT, Okuma RTX, Sedona or a used Procyon, Helios or Patriarch.  The President is always a good choice.  I like the looks of the Limited Edition and the 1371146 wouldn't be a bad choice.

[Capt.Bob]

1000 Stradic 2-MGFB's , 1-FI, 1- FJ, and 1-1000 Saros F. Everyone strung with Sufix 832 10# test and use 4 to 8 #test Fluoro or Mono for leader material.

I don't UL fish that much.  The reel I use is an old Mitchell 308.

Oh happy days!

I have two UL rods, a 30 year old  4 1/2 ft Fenwick  (this is super UL with no reel seat, only rings to hold the reel) and a 5 1/2 ft Shimano Clarus.  I  have a Pflueger President 20 ( 6920X ) on the former  and a 25 (6925X)  on the latter.  Great reels for the money.

There was a time in my life where that 4.5 ft Fenwick was my only rod and I used it for everything and caught some pretty big bass on it (upwards of 4 lbs). Until recently I had a very old Shimano on it. When I bought the 20 President I moved the old Shimao to one of my ice fishing rods and it is still going strong after 30 years.

[Crestliner2008]

Pflueger President 6920.

[Kyle46N]

What do you mean by ultralight?   I've had 6 Pflueger Trions on ultralight panfish setups, 6 ft long light action rods, 4-6 lb test, casting 1/16th oz or less, for 2 years and they still feel like they came out of the box yesterday.   Can't say the same for any other low end brand reel at that size.  I've tried them all.   I just can't justify a $100 plus UL reel for crappie and bream fishing. 

[Kevin22]

Pflueger trion and president 10's, 20's, 25's. Shimano sienna 1000 and and sedona 1000. 

Out of all of them, the trion has been the best. I had a run of pfluegers wearing out so I switched to shimanos and they barely lasted 3 seasons and are all on their last leg. My original trions from 10 years ago are still going strong, as is the one I bought two years ago. 

[fishwizzard]

For the first year or so I was fishing my only two reels were a 1000 Stradic FJ and a 500 Okuma B.  They both have punched far above their weight, especially the Okuma.  They both also have survived a good bit of salt water use with only a hose off after.  The Okuma is tiny but balances well on a ~5' UL rod. 

[kcdinkerz]

500 - 1000 shimano.

[blckshirt98]

500 or 1000 size Shimano but it would depend on the rod you're pairing it up with.  A 1000 size Shimano filled with braid on a 4' 6" UL rod might feel wonky and unbalanced.  On the flipside a 500 size reel on an 8' UL rod might feel wonky the other way around.

[MassYak85]

another vote for the Pflueger President

[mrpao]

I use shimano  Sahara  500's on my ultra light  bass setups.

Daiwa spinmatic Z 's on my crappie  and bream setups.

The shimano  1000's are my regular  bass setups.

[John G]

Major Craft MSX Limited 6'5" UL BFS and a Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG Limited with 5# Sniper.

Casting gear is soooooo much cooler than spinning gear.

How well does that thing shoot a dock?

[John G]

No dock shooting with this but you already knew that.
