What Reel Would You Take? - 02/24/21 06:58 PM
Hey guys, just curious what y'all would prefer.
I have the option of a Spinfisher VI for ~$116, Daiwa BG for ~$88, Daiwa Fuego LT for ~$80, or a Shimano Nasci for $100.
I don't typically put my reels through a ton of abuse, this would mostly be for inshore fishing and perhaps a little bit of surf fishing when the conditions are calm, but I'm curious what y'all would pick and why.
On one hand, I hear a lot of people talking about how smooth a reel is, but I feel like I'd value durability more than that. A smooth drag I can see being functionally important, but I don't quite see a huge benefit in something being smooth. On that note, I'm kinda leaning towards spending a little more money for the Spinfisher, but I feel like all these reels are great reels.
