hello

i am thinking if buying a new spinning reel and i dont know what one to get has anyone got any ideas what reel i sould get

[NICK R]

Depends on what you want to spend mate ,
I would personally look at Shimano or penn reels

[thefishhunter]

i was thinking of getting a penn captiva cv5000 or penn surfmaster

[finnegan]

steer clear of the surfmaster, bad quality build,, had mine 8mts used maybe 15 times,well maintained, never dropped, never rough housed,, i wouldnt recomend the 850..

Shimano, Shimano and if you cant get a Shimano then get a Shimano. Sorry lol.

As a former pro fishing guide, I still have the same Shimano's that I used 5 years ago, and I think they will last at least another 5 years. I love them. Silky smooth, reliable and above all the drag works perfectly, unlike some of the cheaper copies.

It is only when you hook that fish of a lifetime that you really need that drag and it has to work without fault.
