I Need Your Advice - New Shimano Reel Decision - 07/13/20 04:16 PM
Hey guys, i am new to the forum and new to the sport. My father is an old time fisherman and his bday is coming up. He is using an old shimano that is not working very well these days so trying to get him a replacement. Below are my two options.
Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG. This is a preowned reel. Owner is my friend and he only used it once on a three day fishing trip. Its basically new. Already spooled with braid and upgraded handle. Comes with box, papers and all original accessories - $270
Shimano Stradic FL C3000XG. This is a brand new reel at my local Academy that I have on hold - $230
Most of what we do is inshore fishing. His spinning rod is a 7’6” medium fast rod
What you guys think? I know he will be happy either way
