Bait casting reels

hi lads
anyone reccomend on im looking for one that wont break the bank as i wont use it much .

What type of fishing do you have in mind?

The Abu Revo's are a nice reel at a reasonable price too....

im just going to be going after the twait shad and mac it wont be getting any hardship and use it for minis

I have an ABU 5601 JB bait casting reel in the for sale forum, about to be discounted. And this has the strengthened gears in it so even you shouldnt break it.... Theres a challenge for ya....

Distance can be a key for the shad Fishing Fintan. You are casting 40 - 50 plus yards and you will be throwing 13 Gram lures as well so unless you are very used to a bait caster I would steer away from them. I have a quite a few and I might bring one for a try this year, but my primary outfit will be a small fixed spool. I use a 4000 size, but 2500 will be fine as well. I use the 4000 size for bass as well, so like something a wee bit bigger. You can get the lower end shimano's for about 50 - 60 yo yo's

I have the Shimano Exage 4000 for spinning Fintan. They are a great little reel and I used it for the shad last year. Loaded with 4lb line I was able to cast no problem with it. They have front and rear drag available and they are about €80.
