Hi

I figure I need to add some yardage to my casting this autumn (I'd like to average 100 m +) and was wondering what reel all you guys and the new girls would recommend to twin with a Penn Vendetta 12.6 rod rigged for a multiplier reel. I expect to use 15 lb main line and use it in relatively clean marks. The rod has a rather soft tip but it also has enough backbone to get the lead moving quite well...

Thanks

Can't go wrong with the penn 525.

Penn525mags, or daiwa 7hts. for clean ground work, you can't really go wrong with any of the higher priced casting reels. penn525s will go anywhere, 7hts are foolproof, elites are great for clean ground.
goodluck

Shimano TSM IICFS, if yer man enough to tame it! :D

Out of production now, so first you'd have to find one. No brakes, vicious overruns, but reputedly one of the sweetest reels if you set it up right.

Just ask Nigel (the reeldoc) or H.A (Ada) from the English forums, they'll convince you. :D
