salokcinnodrog Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I often use a baitrunner, simply because I occasionally use the same reel for chub, roach or even tench fishing. ST baitrunner 4000 size, or an Aero Stradic 4000, the Stradic is quite over your budget, but the fighting drag is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These get very good reviews and are smack bang in your price range..... http://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/daiwa-ss1600-whisker-specialist-reel I'm a Daiwa man myself.

Phil Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Funnily enough I have been looking around for a reel for this exact rod. I've also been using an old Aero 6010 but wanted something more compact. One of the best I've found is a 4000 Exage, but it's silver and my brain can't cope with that lol On 24/01/2017 at 8:39 AM, DEANO30 said: Im in the process of giving my tackle an overhaul and looking for a new reel to couple up with an esp mk2 floater rod i was using an old shimano 6000 ... im after an all rounder for stalking/surface fishing with 10-12lb lines ... i do not want a bait runner ... just something light with a smooth clutch would be nice ... budget of around £80 could poss strech abit more.
