Century carbon sre reel suggestions?

#1 Post by Turner85 »

Have this rod a while now but just been using a cheap Mitchell fixed spool on it. I'm looking to upgrade to a better reel now and am looking for recommendations for this particular rod. Thanks in advance!!

A shimano biomaster 8000 size or a Arelex 8000 also by shimano. These reels will last a life time with very little maintenance mostly a good rinse with tap water after each fishing session. Braid works great with these reels to.

Thanks for replies lads. Budget around 150 I suppose.I seen the penn affinity for 80 sterling but if there's a superior reel to that for not much more money I'd gladly fork out
