What Is The Best Spinning Reel For Saltwater?

by Ms. Equipments fishing

A lot if people ask what is the best rod for a Shimano Stella 18k. The answer varies based on the type of fishing but a Shimano Terez 7’8 with the Stella and 65# braid works great yellowfins all the time. We catch lots of 65-100lbers and a few bigger. the rods have been great, they cast awesome, and have good recovery on the pump. The guides have held up to the spectra very well so far. We get some stubborn fish every so often, especially if they get fully hooked on the popper and we still get em!

One problem with longer rods which aid in casting distance is that it does give the fish a bit more leverage.so if you’ll be doing deep butterfly jigging you’ll want a short stiff rod to give you more leverage to get the fish up easy! I would also recommend getting a shoulder harness like the after maxforce II, and they make a spin rod adaptor strap for it which works great if you do get into the battle of a lifetime!
