Hi Lads,
I recently bought a new 9 ft spinning rod rated to cast between 15 and 40 g. I'm looking for recommendations on a spinning reel that wont break the bank. I plan on using the rod mainly for spinning from rocks for pollack, wrasse etc. using lures and soft plastics but also for a bit of float fishing.
I was looking at the Shimano Catana 4000 for about 45 quid. Anybody out there with opinions or experience with this reel? Also, should I go for the FB or RB model? I was also thinking of loading it with 12 or 15lb braid. Would this be the correct breaking strain for what I have in mind?
Thanks in advance
