tote 854 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've had a few Okumas but never had one that's lasted more than 2 seasons, the quality just isn't there. Same with Shakespear spinning reels, they just don't last. Plenty of different sized Shimano reels out there, find one that suits you and you should get years of use out of it, my present one is more than ten years old and still going strong. 2 Quote Link to post

Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Shimano Nexave, or have a look on Ebay at the Shimano 6000 series baitrunner reels Quote Link to post
DOONBOY 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 THE 6000 IS GOOD FOR HARLING FOR SALMON OR FISHING DEAD BAITS FOR PIKE .IF YOUR WORMING OR SPINNING FOR SALMON THE 5000 IS A BETTER SET UP AND A GOOD BIT LIGHTER.HAD THE 6000 CHANGED TO THE 5000.WOULDNT LOOK BACK Quote Link to post

lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think a Shimano in the 4000 size is about right, i have twinpower xtr and stradic fg both great reels. 1 Quote Link to post
