A spinning reel that works =P
I have a Shimano spinning reel from Wal-Mart that only cost me about $35-45, and it helped me to catch the biggest bass that I’ve ever caught(9 lbs). It doesn’t have to be a super high quality reel to get the job done for bass that small. Pretty much any reel that won’t break on you all the time should be fine.
I use a medium weight Shimano Aero 2000 with a Shimano Fightin’ Stick. Of course everybody makes a long spool reel now so they’re fairly common. Go to the closest Bass Pro, or Cabela’s and ask what they’d recommend. Not everybody has the same taste in reels or the way they feel on the rod. Try getting a rod/reel combo that matches.
hey man. i will give you two great great reels that i use on a regular and they are not expensive and have never failed me. i love the abu garcia cardinal series. that one ran me about 35-40 dollars. great great reel. i have it setting on a 6′ medium action shakespear ugly stick and the other bass reel that i use is the phlugher. great one as well. i think i payed about 60 dollars for that one. i have that one sittin on an ugly stick as well. i know that both prices may seem high to some but for high quality reel the prices are not too bad. i have pulled up 20-lbs catfish with both 8-12 lb bass with both. i have even drug up a 3 foot sand shark with the abu. if you are wanting a good reel that will last you for a good long while and not give you any problems without dropping the bank there you go. good luck good fishin be safe and remember to share the experience
