Need advice on a spinning reel.........
Need some advice on what kind of reel to pair up with either a 6'9" Vendetta medium light spinning rod or with a Carrot Stix 7' medium light spinning. Looking for great balance.
Thanks in advance...........Brian |

Weightless plastics. Maybe a tube jig stuffed with a rattle and a small egg weight. I would love to try a shaky head rig but none of the worms I've seen on the market truly float the tail.
Was eying the Revo spinning reel but really....$250 for a spinning reel? Let's say $150 MAX......... Thanks, Brian |

For what your using it for, I would use a M action spinning rod.

I have the Vendetta 6'6" M spinning rod. Though it feels more like a MH. Everywhere I read they said the Vendetta's run heavier than stated. That's why I was going to add a ML to the mix. For balance, was looking for a reel choice from you pro's....... |

Personally I would go with a 2500, or 2000. If you plan on using braid or a supple mono, go with the 2000, anything else (especially fluoro), I think a 2500 would be a lot better, as the large spool manages stiffer lines better. I haven't used a plethora of spinning reels by any means, but I really like the way daiwa spools are shaped, and lay your line. Only one I have experience with is the Exceler, but I'd buy a teirra for advantge with out a second thought. Those particular models also have water proof drags. And at the price tackle warehouse has them, I'd really consider em.
