Looking for new spinning reel

#1 Post by Wes »

Getting back into the sport after a looooong absence.

Looking for a good spinner....so far the Shimano FXFB is catching my eye.
Anyone with experience or suggestions of better?

Shimano Technium/Rarenium cant go wrong I reckon.. all depends on budget!
Everyone should believe in something; I believe I’ll go fishing.
