Light reels

Hey, I have the Prion 1800 and it's a great reel. Every bit as good as my Shimano 4000 at about 60% of the price. The Prion is on an 8'6" graphite Fenwick salmon-steelhead rod that is great for schoolies, small blues, and it beached a 37-incher a couple of weeks ago. I use 14# Riptide SI yellow on it.

You need a good bearing in the bail to use a lot of the non-mono lines and the Prion has one, as do the Shimanos. With an SS, though, you'll end up with a fist-sized rats nest after about 5 casts cuz the line pick up roller doesn't always roll!
