Reel Size

SimonT · #1 31-10-2003, 02:49 AM

I was wondering what the preferred size of reel people use for their bream reels is. I'm working on the theory that the different brands have similar sizing conventions eg. 1000,1500,2000,2500 etc and so it shouldn't matter what the brand is.

Thanks,
SimonT

Simon, I'm going the Stradic 1000 as my fave size.

I've got an Okuma Epix EFS20, thats size 2000 I think?

A lil big IMO

G`Day Simon,

Im a 1000 man for sure. Stradic/Biomaster whatever, but 1000 is a great size, some 1500s are also pretty small.

cheers

1000/1500 sizes are the go,everything else its an alvey 650 & 651

Started with 2000 size, although happy with it I prefer something a bit smaller and more importantly lighter. Bream sticks are very light rods and I believe that they are better suited to the lightest reel possible IMHO. I recently bought a Stradic 1000 and I am very happy with it.

just to be differnt

I have a Pflueger Trion 4725 which is basicly a size 1000

and an ABU CD4 1000 which is a size 2500 in a shimano or daiwa

so you see it can get confusing!
