What reel for the Lami XSRA 1084-2
Hello there,
I'm very happy with this rod, I paired it with a Twinpower 4000 but it feels a bit heavy at the tip.
I was wondering if a 6000 class reel would be a better match ?
Any advice ?
Thanks,
Olivier

I second the Stradic 6000. Its a well balanced set up. Mine is on the one piece 1084 loaded with 50# PP.

I think all of Shimano's 6000 and 8000 series reels share the same body and rotor, with the only difference being the depth of the spool (6000 has a shallower spool and holds less line).
Personally, if two reels weigh the same and cost the same, I'll always get the one that holds more line.

Thanks to all : I've got the answer I wanted !
It will certainly be a 6000 or 8000 Twinpower :
- I don't like the Stradic and Spheros handles (a bit on the cheap side)
- i don't like the location of the anti-reverse lever on the Spheros
Mike : yes, I think the 6000 and 8000 share the same body.
The trouble is to find one in these sizes hers in France : the trend is to use thin lines and sizes over 4000/5000 are no more imported !!!
I think I found a 6000 in a local shop, will check tomorrow. I can always get a 8000 spare spool somewhere !

Too bad they don't sell the Twinpower in the US.  |

They don't sell the Twin in the US, right, but you have the Sustain which is very similar.
A new line of Twinpower is available in France, but no size over 5000.
I guess that for greater sizes you must get a HG or PG in Japan.
Anyway, I found an "old" Twin 6000 (but with the waterproof lubricated gearcase, 2 spools) with a good discount this week-end, so I made my choice ! |
