What reel?

Featured Replies

What baitcast reel would be good for weightless senkos/light t-rigs? 

  • Super User

I use an Abu Garcia LTX.

 

...but it wasn't cheap...cost $380 new in 2016...

 

I tend to look at it this way: It was less than the Shimano Calais DC I use for pike and musky...

My conquest 100 does the best of anything I i have.....and was JDM

If you can find a lews tournament lite that’s an awesome reel. It’s made to throw light baits. I have it paired up with an e6x and it throws weightless senkos effortlessly

Abu Garcia pro max It's a solid good cheap reel 

Any modern reel would be fine. 

Daiwa or shimano, pick your budget. They both have good offerings.

Sorry forgot to mention, no budget!

I use my Tatula SV sometimes, or a Steez A TW. The Tatula is easier to cast, I think. The Steez will throw one further than anything else I own, but I have had a couple overruns in this Kansas wind.

Look for a Daiwa with a SV spool. In reality, any baitcaster will cast Senkos and weighted T-rigs pretty easily.

Any of the newer  Shimanos cast weightless plastics phenomenaly get one with an mgl spool and it’s optimal for the lightest of soft plastics.

Well sir, you just opened a whole other world :) Still would recommend Daiwa or Shimano, but the high end reels are out of my league. I have been impressed with their low and Mid tier offerings.
