surf fishing reel advice
hey guys,
just wondering what a good surf reel to go on my Shimano catana would be.
The price range is under $180 but ill go $200 if I need to.
I would prefer a Shimano reel, but if there aren't any good options in my price range I will take other suggestions.
thanks,
fisho999

And are you planning to baitfish or lure?
The reel has to match the rod and what you want to do.

I'm with seniorfisho, go get Nasci 4000.
Put 15lb braid line on it.

Re: surf fishing reel advice
thanks Sebb and seniorfisho, if I do go with braid, what colour? i do have around 200 m of 9-kilo clear mono somewhere, would that work or do you think just go with braid.

Re: surf fishing reel advice
The mono is a bit heavy. There are good braid options out there. While you're at Ananconda, get some 14lb Dangan braid, it's quite fine for it's rating and tie a 12lb leader on it and you've got a great little long casting all round land based rod
