I have used many different reels for personal use, Kayak charters and Charters on my Pontoon. I have Fifteen IX 400 Shimano Reels and now this is all I use for inshore fishing.
Good drag, long lasting (most at least 2 seasons), 10-20 pound braded line and cheap (sports Authority $15.00)
I wash off with fresh water ever time out and no repair costs ? throw away and replace it.
I am not sponsored by Shimano.
No problem reels you need to try one ? dunk it a few times
Let?s go FISHING
