Looking for light (but still smooth), using 2lb Fireline up to 4lb mono, so really small lines. I'll be chasing small trout and panfish so I don't need heavy line nor large capacity. The priorities are, first, LIGHT; then smooth. Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

The Shimano Stradic CI4 was suggested to me. Probably overkill for your needs. I think you have lots of choices and don't need to spend much. I fish saltwater and it is harder to find a small reel made for that. Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

i have a Shimano Sedona 500 FA and love it. I customzed it so when I reverse it, it stops with the line close to my finger to grab for another cast. Bill - willierods.com Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

Go to your favorite sporting goods store and take a serious look at the 30 series Pflueger Trion. I bought one at Gander Mtn a few days ago and love it. It was the smoothest one I could find. It has 7 bearings. It is small and light and a step above an Ultra Light. Using it for Bluegill and Crappie with 6 lb mono. By the way, they are on sale at GM.

Shimano Sedona for economy. Pflueger Supreme for mid-range. Shimano Stradic CI4 as a splurge. Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

I have a Shimano Sedona and a Pflueger Trion, and they are very close in quality. I like the Trion a little better, and it was less money. Mine is the 1000. Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

My vote would be a Shimano Symetre 1000 (front drag) $99 now (used to be $79),The Stradic would be a step up.
They also have the Sedona $59 (have one 5 yrs. old on my 6' M/F rod, no problems still going strong) and they have a Sahara $79 (had one didn't like it) I use Symetre 2500's on all my bass spinning rods, except one has a Stradic 2000 about 3 yrs. old, They've performed well for me. (std. front drag) My buddy doesn't like Shimano's and uses nothing but Diawa's (TD) in the same price range with no issues. Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

You listed' LIGHT' first, and then 'Smooth'.
Not the smoothest, but has 8 bearings and 5.5 oz. Cabelas Hardstone HS10. It's a size 500 reel. My sons use this. Casts well in terms of distance. Oh, and low cost. Mo Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720

Try the Pfluger President 6720. I use Pfluger reels exclusively and fish with 2 lbs. fireline in the summer and 4 lbs. Tectan in the winter. I own a Supreme and it sits on the shelf. There is something about the spool shape that causes the fireline to come off in terrible snarls. I can spool up a President in April and use the same line most of the summer with no problems. Go figure! I own 5 Presidents and love them.

Pflueger has come a long way in the last 10 years. I own 2 Trion fly reels (5-6 wt and 8wt) and would not use anything else for the difference in money. I also have some Pflueger Casting reels and light wt Trion spinning reels. I don't think you can beat them for the money. They will definitely compete with the higher priced reels.

They make 2 lbs. in both the smoke and the crystal. I like the smoke. I buy it on-line, but I can't remember where. It's not one of the big tackle retailers. It's not a braid but the fused line. I believe they make 1 lbs. also. Jim Re: Need UL Spinning Reel Recommendations for SP720
