CG Angler Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I fish UL when bass are small.. Looking for a new outfit. Any suggestions? Quote
trevor Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 whatever your current favorite spinning reel is. Get the size to match a medium action rod. I fish for bluegills with a medium spinning reel and ultralight rods and it might not be perfectly balanced, but it will cast far because of the wider spool and less line twist. You can cast a long way with four lb line, a ultra light rod, and a medium reel. Quote
bigfruits Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 thats what im using on my rogue ultralight. i believe its the same size as the 750 with a bigger spool... Quote
PondHunter Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I have Mitchell Avocets on mine and like them. Quote
Stasher1 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I have a Pflueger Arbor 7430 on my lite setup. It has the body size and weight of a 1000-series reel with the spool diameter of a 2500-series reel. Have it on a 6' lite St. Croix Premier for trout and it balances nicely. I have a Daiwa Regal 1000Xi on my UL setup and it has a spool the size of a thimble. The line comes off in a nice tight coil, like a slinky. : Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 I have a Mitchell 308 on a 6' med rod. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 Since neither manufacturer has shallow spool reels for the domestic market if it were me I would get a 2000/2500 reel, spool half of the spool with 10-12 mono as filler and the rest with 6 lbs test Hybrid or CXX. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 Look at a BPS Microlite rod and Shimano Sahara 500 or 750 reel. 2-4# Silverthread AN40 will work well. Quote
CG Angler Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 Found a Pflueger President with matching rod for 37.99. Sould I pick it up? Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 Shimano Symetre 750. Great UL reel. Been using this one for 3 years now. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 The Symetre 1000 is a fine UL reel. Mine is about 7 years old and I have never had a problem. I fished with a 750 for a while but it was a bit too small. Quote
