Most Reliable reel

Postby round_ourway » Thu Dec 13, 2012 5:31 pm

Right time to start reviving this forum a little. Just wondering what peoples most reliable reel is when they are casting. whats the favorite reel that when the day goes to balls the take out of the bag to restore faith. Mine is my mozza converted high speed mag 6500.

i got a loan of a 525 to give her a couple of casts to see if i wanted to buy it.have only cast one a handful of times before.with the sloshy giving me sh#t lately i had a whip off it...far better control than the sloshy...and better distances,maybe it just suits my style of cast better...
torn between the two i am...
