need reel recomendations
Hi Guys,
Long time fisherman, 99.9% of that has been from a boat. Time is catching up with me and I'm notable to spend as much time as i used to on the boat. Spend my summers in Sandwich so thinking i may try and make up for my lack of fishing by trying to throw some plugs this summer down at the canal.
I've read quite a bit on your forums about getting started and read a couple of great articles i appreciate the time people have taken to get folks like me started.
My wife supported this idea of mine ( I think sh'es hoping i get out of the house) and bought me a very nice ODM rod NDX-115 mod - mod fast 11' rod (my reading here seems to show this may be a little long but beggars cant be choosy) Now i'm looking for a reel to match up to it. I'm thinking of a Saragosa 8000, but not sure i like the newer reels not having a bail spring. What are your thoughts on this real? Any other more appropriate reels? Am i on the right track with an 8000 size reel should i be looking for larger? smaller?
I've pretty much switched all my other spinning gear to braid with 4 or 5 foot leaders I think most of my striper rods are spooled with 65lb, about right or should i drop down?
any and all thoughts are appreciated. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and hope to see you around this summer.
