Salmon Fishing Combo
Is this a good reel and rod combo?
Hi. I'm planning to buy good quality all-round fishing rod and reel (Shimano Compre 6'6 and Shimano Stradic 2500). I've been recommended a Pflueger Supreme 8030 (not for saltwater) or Shimano Symetre 2500 but I'm thought maybe forking out an extra $30 for a better reel. Would this be better? Also, would a stradic overkill a compre? Should I get a crucial instead?
I mainly do light/med fishing, targeting bream, snapper, whiting, flathead, threadfin salmon and jewfish (10kg).
Go for it! Stradic's are GREAT reels. Can't go wrong with a Stradic.
However, I still think you should move up to the 4000 series. A slightly larger reel leaves you more options like: a larger drag surface and a larger spool- making long distant casting easier and the ability to put heavier Mono line on if you wish. The 2500 is pretty small in comparison.
Think about it.
Hope this helps? TU's to GMB.
