2697, Reel for salt $80.00-$125.00
Posted by RODSNAPPER, Tue Jul-27-04 08:41 AM
Hi everyone! long time no type!

Most of the old school guys here know I'm a 95% Freshwater Bass dude and 5% Salt (Tubing inside the breakwalls for Halibut..etc)

I just got invited to go on a twighlight trip, and my gear is...well, less than desirable for a Salt trip.

(No way I'm chucking Big Hammer's on my Chronarch's!)

I will take my Custom Shikari 8'ft Swimbait Rod, a stiff 7ft Browning Vectra graphite, and my collapsing Loomis Flipping stick.

I have a ABU 6500 C5 Mag that's going with and an older Daiwa Procaster with Flippin' Switch (About $150.00 10 years ago...nice reel!)

Need one more inexpensive reel for the trip. My budget is between $80.00-$125.00. Please keep in mind that I'm a bigtime Shimano guy, so if you can recommend different reels from them, I'd really appreciate it.

I wish I could afford a Calcutta 400, but it ain't happening!

I'm spooling no heavier than #20-25lb Big Game or XT. Good Line capacity is needed.

I will welcome all assistance, but Shimano has been great to me.

I hope everyone is doing great, and thanks in advance for your help!

Good fishing!
