Questions and Answers
Q
What reel would best suit the 5ft version of this?
A
Hi Matt,
A front drag fixed spool reel in a around a 4000 size should be suitable depending on what depths you are fishing.
The Shakespeare reel I have included a link to below should be suitable as this is also rated for salt water use.
