Here's the deal.
I have about $140 left from my Christmas/Birthday money that I havent spent, and Im looking for a reel of caliber to complement a St. Croix Truimph 6'6" Medium rod. Im looking for a medium sized reel (2000,20,2500, etc....) that will be suited up with 8lb P-Line Fluoroclear, or the new one, evolution, or whatever.
soooo.....
Im not limited to any brand, but I dont like Shimano spinning reels that much, I own a symetre and it feels like a little womens reel. But mabye the stradic is different or something.
Im mostly looking at an Old-School Quantum or a Daiwa Tierra or Capricorn. Ive heard some stories that the new quantums bail was weird, so Im sort of straying away from those. And it wont be an ebay purchase since my parents CAN NOT find out about this. And I know someone of "tackle ho' caliber" can help me out here.
Thanks
James
