High Speed or 2 Speed Spinning reel?
If anyone knows of another high speed or 2 speed spinning reel, that would fit this bill, please post it. I have some time before I leave, so I am trying to do a bit of research before I pull the trigger. Thank you for your time. |

Two speed Spinning reel? I have to look into it.
$129.00 is not bad. I have two speeds, but in conventional style. I would be curious to see how it is done. Did you by any chance stop at Cedros Outdoor Adventures booth at the Fred Hall Show in Del Mar? |

I have the conventional 2 speeds as well, but I want to be able to cast a mile. I'm afraid the whippy tip, on the rod I'm using, will just cause backlashes if I use any of the conventional reels I have. Plus this reel only weighs 18 oz. I did not make it to the Del Mar show, but I stopped by at the Long Beach Show Sunday afternoon. I've watched you guys on Stoked on Fishing. The wife was in until she realized we would be fishing on the smaller boats. She wants a galley, and cushioned benches. Someday I'll make it out there with you guys. Always looks like a great trip. |

I was told from a few people who owns them that they wouldn't hold up to one season but I don't have first hand experience.

The sport fishing or any boat longer than 34.5 feet is no longer allowed to fish in a very large area around the island. When I was there, I took a cushion from the balcony and wrapped it in many layers of clean trash bags to use on the panga. I am going back with Stoked on Fishing (depending on some pending issues) in July and taking a PFD/cushion with me. If you are using braid with spinning reels there is a special one which reduces the wind knot and tip wrap ups. |

Is that going to be fast enough to make these lures effective? |

Thank you. I'll keep looking for a bit, but the reviews on the Battle series seem to say it's a work horse. I appreciate you guys for the comments.

Stick with a single high speed reel. I don't see how more torque will help you on a spinning reel.

Personally down in Cabo I use a Daiwai 6500H. You will just need high speed to retrieve poppers and stuff. It will cast a mile and pull on basically anything. How small does the travel rod break down to? Okuma didn't have the 10ft a couple years back.

So UPS just delivered my rod. Man it looks good. It's beautiful shade of Navy Blue, and it's lighter than most of my 7 foot rods. Pretty sure I'm starting to not feeling good and will have to leave work early today. After all, I do have to learn how to cast a 3 oz lure 100 yards. I'm more used to casting 1/2oz to 1 oz lures from a 7 ft rod, maybe 50 yards. This should be fun!

Daiwa bg is the best reel for the price.

Thank you for the suggestion! I grabbed the PENN BATTLE II 6000 from Turners this past weekend. However, the Diawa, pulls 47" on line per crank and is the same price at Turners. Considering I wanted the 2 speed, so I would have a high speed retrieve, and for the same price I get 6 more inches of line per crank. And I only lose 3 lbs of drag force from the 25 lbs of drag on the Penn to 22lbs on the Diawa. I may have to go back and swap out the PENN. Or maybe just keep the Penn and pick up the Diawa anyway.
