I dont have the money to afford the more expensive reels

Same spool size, gear ratio, can find extra spools for cheap price and will work like new and smooth for a long time What i am looking for I currently use the gx2 reel but am looking for someone that will work

Alright im currently sticking with getting a trion unless anyone knows a better reel with same gear ratio and spool size that will still work as good as new after long term use i usually go fishing once or twice a week with a few several day trips a year

I miscalculated they are 3/8 of an inch

Though i use stretch them out buy leaving them on the tool

Diameter 1/4 of an inch and i use 5” senkos

I also noticed the steel leader adds a tiny amount of weight which works for me but as long as you set the hook early you should be fine.

I have been trying the double oring trick this year to increase hook up ratio and it seems the senko fly off or get torn in half or they come off when the fish jump does anyone know why and what i am doing wrong and what I need to do to fix this

Unless anyone knows another reel with the 5.2:1 gear ratio and spool that holds 100 yards of 12 lb test that has cheap spare spools

Several years too late but use a steel leader i do it kinda falls like its on a jighead and the fish love it

Im going with trion

I have them and they are just about shot of course we might be talking about different ones as i am talking about the gx2 version Also i cant decide between the several reel options right now so which one has a 5.2:1 ratio and holds about 75- 100yrds of 12lb test

Ugly stiks are great rods but I cannot say the same for the reel

What i do is i spool the reel the exact same way the guy in the video link i posted did then i take off the spool fill up a cup with hot water then put the spool in it Also i have a question about a reel that i have confirmed to get if i got a REVLT2000-C would a spool from the Revlt3000 fit Because i want the gear ratio of the one and the spool size of the other

Alright time to give some bass some steroids then go win bassmasters with them and get the real joking

Thank you guys

I got a 1000 yrd spool of seaguar red label 12 lb test for $25 or $30 though I’ve noticed the remaining line on the spool is nicked and frayed and I asked about a replacement spool they said send proof of purchase which i sent a while ago and now i dont get responses any ideas ps sorry if this is off topic its a problem i have though like i said if you have the thing the guy in the video has which i do along with the hot water trick makes it work great

Dodgeguy its worked fine and i have caught numerous big fish as long as you do the hot water trick and spool correctly

I know in the st Lawrence the goby colored senkos will work well for smallmouth but for pike will the goby or perch work better because pike eat perch and there is too many perch in the st Lawrence

Trion it is sorry about the delay the website has been trying to get me to yoe in a signature then say it goes against guidelines

Shimando what is the spool capacity

edit im blind I didn’t see the reel you suggested glaucus Buy the way what size

Well something that will last a long time

Also I amusing 12 lbs main line fluorocarbon and need a reel that holds a good amount but not an extreme amount Also I amusing 12 lbs main line fluorocarbon and need a reel that holds a good amount but not an extreme amount fish i target mainly are bass pike, pickerel,catfish and carp and around here the trout season i dread pre and post ice Thank you for the quick replies i have an ugly stik with the reel and its on its way out If lures matter i mainly use senkos and live bait

Im looking for a spinners reel under $50 that I wont have to worry about fraying or nicking line that will last me forever and holds anywhere from 75-100 yrds of 12 lbs mono
