Gray111 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Hello guys. I wanted some advise about buying a spinning reel bit I'm in a budget. I plan to fish inshore in saltwater. I will mostly target fishes not greater than 3lb. I'm looking at two cheap spinning reels: Daiwa revros Lt and Okuma Ceymar Match ( cost around to 50$). Can anyone give me some advise which one would be the best? Any experience with this reels? Thanks Quote
bigjean663 Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 I’ve got an Abu Garcia silver max spinning reel that has been nothing short of perfect. Zeros issues for me and I’ve used it in fresh water at Toledo Bend and in brackish on the Sabine River. It’s usually $40ish at Walmart and sometimes cheaper on amazon and eBay. No experience with either one of those so I can’t really give my .02. Just wanted to give another option. 1 Quote

Gray111 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Posted May 11, 2019 I'm a bit confuse about the 'Match' version of this reel. What does it meen? It is like the normal Ceymar or it is used for something specific? 4 hours ago, bigjean663 said: I’ve got an Abu Garcia silver max spinning reel that has been nothing short of perfect.

Thanks for answering but I live in Europe, and don't have many option buying from amazon, even on ebay too. The shipping cost too much. 4 hours ago, WRB said: Take a look at Okuma Ceymar C-30 Tom It was a bit smaller watching some review. The c40 would have been perfect but coudn't find one from the seller I wanted to buy. Quote
Super User WRB Posted May 11, 2019 Super User Posted May 11, 2019 Match may be a European term for tournament. The only thing I see is the Match comes with an extra spool. Member Jim Kelly would know, he lives in the UK. Tom Quote

Tim Kelly Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 I'd get the Daiwa. Match reels are shallow spooled reels designed for float fishing light 2-4lb mono. I've never used an Okuma reel I thought was better than the equivalent priced Daiwa or Shimano. 1 1 Quote
