reel shimano nexave 6000 FI Spinning engineers built Nexave reels with form and function Shimano Nexave FI spinning reel

I was catching a few fish but it wasnt good fishing by any measure

It also makes a great finesse reel if you're interested

Example: Build a $400 spinning combo that punches above its class Budget: $400(ish) total Rod: $280 Shimano Expride rod (extreme sensitivity, lightness and castability) Reel: $129 Shimano Miravel mid-range spinning reel (smooth drag, strong gears) Why this works: The Expride is a premium rod that is very light which reduces fatigue, very sensitive to amplify bites and feedback, and designed with plenty strength for solid hook sets

Dont cast to the center of the school

Next, you want to choose the right size of reel, so match the size to the weight of the fly line and fly rod youre using
