Hello all, I am new to the forum and surf/pier fishing. I have spent most of my time kayak fishing. I recently came across a great deal on some reels. I was hoping to be able to use one for surf casting, I shoild mention I have never used a conventional reel before
The reels.
Shimano tld 20
Shimano tekota 600lc
Shimano torium16
Shimano tld-star 15/30s
Shimano tld-star 20/40s
Abu garcia 9000i
Any input anyone can offer is greatly appreciated !!!
From what I have read none of these are very good for casting, I am considering a diawa saltist or a penn squall 30 or 40.
If you have a kayak why don’t you just yak out your baits, with that you could use any of those reels.
240cc Everglades
18cc Assateague Scow
It got hit by an idiot in a boat
Avet MXL or SX with mag cast smokes the rest of them, also the big Penn Spin fishers get the job done. Abu’s require constant maintenance in the sand. the rest are not cast-able. I have An Avet MXL mc several Abu Garcia 6500’s a TLD 20, TLD 25 I use all of them on the beach. (yak the uncastables)
