| What spinning reel should i buy?? Hi All, I recently won a new spinning rod from an online comp via the Total Sea Fishing website. Its a Quantum Energy Bass (270) spinning rod. I can't find much information about these rods on the internet and i was just wondering if its any good? I would also be grateful for any recommendations for a new spinning reel to go with it? Many Thanks Chesil Chucker     |

| Re: What spinning reel should i buy?? Hi, I've just been looking into getting a new reel. I was looking at the Okuma Trio HS. http://www.okumafishingteam.com/dyn_family.php?k=284019 I am not into blingy reels, but after holding this reel in Chesil Bait N Tackle, I think its a well balanced reel, with a high speed retrieve. It does depend on your budget. Good luck on your search. |

| Re: What spinning reel should i buy?? Go for a Shimano every time. Even their budget end reels are good. I am not too keen on Okuma reels, with the exception of their centre pins. The drags on okuma reels tend to snag. Not a problem under normal circumstances, but if you have the fish of a life time on and you lose it through a bad drag, you wont ever see that fish again. __________________ Check my blog for a daily fishing forecast from Weymouth, Portland, Chesil Beach & Kimmeridge Bay. www.fishingtails.co.uk |
