Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask for spinning reel suggestions $150 (maybe a little higher if I really like it) or lower. I am going to be putting it on a 6'-10" Powell Endurance say, 8# copoly. (I love fishing 4" Senkos with this combination. I love setting the hook on a bass and hearing the drag noise, ugh!)

I currently have a 2500 Sendona in use on that rod, but it has a slow gear ratio of 5.2to1 and the drag does not seem as precise as I want/need these days. (The drag is fine, just want more precision, then specturm range.)

Looking for a reel 6 to 1 gear ratio or greater, something light (if possible,) probably front drag (which is common these days). Line weights, say 6#-10# and a good drag system I've always had Shimanos, never had trouble with them, but open to different manufactures. With all these news reels just trying to get a feeling for how they stack up and if I should be looking at them vs. current older models as well.

Thanks in advance,

Wdy

If line pick up is important it's IPT( inches per turn), not ratio. I'll answer this from my own prospective other people may have a different opinion, I use spinning gear 100% of the time. I pay absolutely zero attention to ratio, my retrieves are always varied, if anything I reel on the slow side and work the lure, senkos barely move. I prefer a drag that has a ratchet feel to it, it clicks, rather than a smooth turning. a 2000 series reel is a good all around bass size, using 8# line drags are set no more than about 3#, a reel with a mega drag is really not needed for bass. When people say weight I think they may mean how it feels on the rod, take your rod with you. The choices are endless, nowadays it's difficult to make a mistake. I own spinning reels from about 6 different companies, really isn't all that much difference, I like them all. Don't get caught up matching bearings, for example a soron has 11 and a stradic is 5 ( I think) both reels are pretty close in smoothness. Good hunting.

I am kind of leaning towards a Pfluger Supreme XT. Also, yes, I meant the weight of the reel, not in the context of its' drag power. The size I am looking at can pull in 30"/wind and is 7.2oz for the weight of the reel. Hunting will be good!

Thanks,

I own 3 supremes, 25-30- 35, excellent value and good reel
