Reel for pe 8-10 setup

[mzaakir]

Hi guys,

I am buying myself a Daiwa Saltist Hyper v2 in the pe 8-10 rating and would like to know what reel i should get.

I am a bit confused on the PE rating and what reel to get for a pe10 setup. I know that daiwa and shimano have different sizes for reel, like a daiwa 6000 might be equivalent to a shimano 10000. 

I will post likely be throwing big poppers and other big lures and trolling sometimes. 

What reel should i get and also what line should i spool it with, I was thinking 80 pound braid but don't know whether i should use braid or mono since its a heavy setup but i know using braid for lures is a better idea.

All depends how much you want to spend really, any Shimano reel 10000 size & up or Daiwa’s equivalent will do, definitely get 80lb braid and use some 100-120lb leader, that should see you in with a chance.

[Junky]

Diawa is the same in sizing as shimano now. 

Value for money imo. 

21 Certate 14000xh. 

Same as the saltiga internals, with the older saltiga rotor. 

Strong as nails. 

Yes I have one. 

 

 

You'll get 300m of Diawa saltiga 12 braid in PE6 on it. 

It is equivalent to 100lb in other lines but nowhere near as thick. Brilliant for casting. 

[mzaakir]

Yeah easy. Ill prob get a 14000 saltist mq or a 20000 stella with 80 pound braid and 200 verivas shock leader. Ill try out that saltiga braid,, might use it for a smaller combo before i try it on the big one

Get a penn slammer, underrated reel IMO, fully sealed, 9 bb, braid ready not need for backing (tho i always put at least a few wraps on), with a high recovery rate in most models, models 6500 and above you'll get more than 300m of 50 and insane drag, its tough as nails.  If you do end up looking at penn the best reel is the slammer not the ssm or the Authority 

[mzaakir]

yeah i was looking at the slammer 10000 or 10500 i think it was

[mzaakir]

I dont like the ssm.. too heavy imo and looks too cheap and poorly built even though its a pretty good reel

I was thinking of getting one for land based shark fishing, so if you do get one let me know how it goes.

[mzaakir]

I know a few people who have them and they said they wouldn't choose any other reel. Theyve said the slammer is the best reel ever. Its very smooth and the drag on it is amazing. It would be perfect for shark fishing bro.

What are you targeting with such a heavy setup, @mzaakir ?

[Huxstang]

Shimano Saragossa….tough reels well sealed very smooth drag.  Got a 10000 on my Venom stickbait rod with 80lb Ocea braid.

Also got a 6000 on an Ocea Offshore spin….great combo that can handle most of the reef fish standing on its head.

One of my mates uses a 14000 and 5000 Stella on the reef at 1770 and reckons it is his favorite and best reel for heavy lure fishing or bait fishing.

I want a Stella but it’s hard to justify when gosa’s are so good.   Stella is so nice maybe one day

[mzaakir]

@ellicatIm started big gt and tuna off rocks.

Where are you? Go and see Peter at Mossops at Ormiston great advice and prices.

[mzaakir]

I’m ok with paying a little more to shop where there is service provided. Otherwise, one day there will be no tackle shops where you can go and feel and look at gear, or get some advice about tackle.  But I do understand why others may shop online.

[Angry51]

Yeah, fully agree with you Steve.

I buy a lot online only because I live remote and don't have access

to shops, but for fishing gear everybody should support your local bloke

because as you say one day they wont be there and also if something goes

wrong you can at least go back to the shop and sort things out.

I even try to only buy Aus made if I can, but that's pretty hard.

That's why there's no corner stores anymore, thanks to woolies/coles.

End of rant.

[ellicat]

It's strange to find a shop that doesn't do it online as well. Generally better service too.

[Another Wazza]

Most shops will price match if you ask them, providing who they’re matching is legit and still has said item in stock, failing that, get your haggle on, they love it

[Huxstang]

I pretty much only buy at shops.  I thought Tackle warehouse at Coorparoo was expensive but their prices are actually inline with the online places on most stuff eg Shimano reels.  They do price match as well.  Plus if you buy a combo they definitely give a decent discount.  

Sounds like I am doing an advert for them but they do provide good advice and have a great range of good gear, so when they give you the time and advice it’s my preference to buy from a shop.  

I do buy stuff like lures/plastics etc from Anaconda when they have a deal on though.

 

[mzaakir]

yeah i got to a close bcf quite often by private sellers are a fair bit cheaper
