What is a 3500 reel good for?

Small sized spinning reels (1000 – 3500) These are small spinning reels ideal for lightweight rods in the 6-7 foot range. They are best for targeting small species up to about 15 pounds, and work best with 2-10lb monofilament, or 4-14lb braid.

What is a 3000 spinning reel used for?

Here’s something that’s really surprised me: reels in the 1000 class have been flying off of the shelves recently.

Is a 4000 size reel good for surf fishing?

For general purpose surf fishing I recommend a 4000 to 6000 series spinning reel paired with 15# to 25# braided line. A setup in this range will land 90% of the common beach dwelling species you are likely to encounter.

What is a 2500 size reel good for?

2500 Size Reels It’s not so large that it’s cumbersome to use, but it’s large enough that you can use a wide line spool that will not tangle – and will extend exactly as far as you need it to. 2500 is a good choice for bass fishing, ideally if you want to use a 5 to 12-pound braided line.

Which spinning reel should I buy?

– On all these outfits you need to be cost conscious. A high price is no assurance that you have the best deal. – Reels are a slightly different matter.
