hey guys,
just wondering what a good surf reel to go on my Shimano catana would be.
The price range is under $180 but ill go $200 if I need to.
I would prefer a Shimano reel, but if there aren't any good options in my price range I will take other suggestions.
thanks,
fisho999

Shimano is a classic. Everybody I know here talk well about them.

I was recommended the 4000 on fishing vic. just wondering why I would get a 5000 instead of a 4000?

^^ Larger power handle for more control, also better line capacity, in case you get a larger Gummy Shark / Mulloway etc on the beach.

I have an Alvey setup for lures with 20 lb braid when I'm casting big lures, but I'm thinking that this reel will be for bait fishing.
