Getting Set Up For Drop Shot Fishing

The supremes are good reels. You may actually want to look for the old model supreme XT reels (gold/yellow in color), and the 9230XT would be a good size. The old models were EXCELENT. I prefer a little larger reel myself however, i have a size 35.

Thanks a lot

The older models are better than the newer ones? What is the difference in size between the 30 and 35, are there any technical dimensions online to be found?

I prefer the older ones simply because they feel better in my hand. Not sure why, but they do... as well, they can be found for alot cheaper. Im not sure how to explain in technical terms the size diffrence, but its slight. Little bigger spool, bail, body/frame, ect. The only major functional difference is that a larger spool gives you more line intake, slightly farther casting and slightly less line twist and memory.

Ok Thanks, in that case I might prefer the 35 size as well.
