Fishing Gear

[xrated]

Getting back into fishing this year with the wife(turns out she likes it) and I need to "give" her my old reel. So I am is search of a decent spinning reel.

Looking for a mid range price. Was hoping for some tips and also any good websites to check out for deals.

Shimano makes some really nice spinners.
Check out Reeds Sporting Goods up In Walker Minn

Second for shimano, I have many and they always treat me good

G-Loomis rod and a Stradic = only way to fly.

Reeds also has another store in Onamia, that would be closer to xrated's home place.
Reeds store in Brainerd was sold to Gander Mountain.

Get an ugly stick lite work great and fairly enexpensive. I always liked the mitchel okuma and pfluger reels

this is a decent reel, I like the quickfires

I don't like using my left hand to find the string, flip the bail and all that junk..with the quickfire your almost as fast as a baitcaster, not quite but for the normal fisher dude who cares if your half a second longer per cast. At least your only using one hand and not flipping the rod from hand to hand.

This year I went with a G loomis (made in China ) and I like it

Or.... A throne brothers G loomis steel custom 8'6 xh with a shimano trinidad 16n 120lb braid on it






Oh wait he said spinning.... Musky opener this weekend has got me thinking so one sided

Yes.. definatly go g-loomis and shimano... Its a great combo..

When you get a loomis make sure they are a return dealer also.. Like our local scheels store here.. you can take the damn thing in the parking lot.. break it.. take it back it.. get a new one for $0.. ...
