best spinning reel for lures etc

i will be doing alot of spinning for bass and was wondering whats the best reel to pair with a 11ft rod any suggestions.was thinking a shimano but dont know which to go for around the e150 price range.

Keith,
I've a Shimano 4000 size baitrunner, deadly thing, dont use it that often but its a great little reel!

If you've the money to spend i'd go for a Shimano reel, cant be beaten!

shimano baitrunner are the dog,s boxxox their are hundreds of reels out their but do they last ?

You could do a lot worse than a Stradic 4000 and loaded with braid, its a great little reel. Personally for spinning I prefer the Stradic to the Baitrunner, I tend to use my Baitrunner mostly for pike fishing these days, but tbh thats just personal preference both are great reels.

cheers dave i had that one in mind alright my mates uncle is coming back from the states in the summer id say they are dirt cheap over there.

howye mate i have the shimano super 4000 GTM-RB matched with a 10' Diawa wilderness its a great combo its well able for big bass and pollack

i have straidic 4000 2, super reel 4 bass and any type of spinning. have the shimano baitrunner 2, but prefare 2 use it 4 pike 2 like dave, bought the shimano cardiff 301a, going 2 try it for all my spinning dis yr. have it loaded with 20lb braid. jus a pic 4 u 2 see wat it looks like, ill be using it on 11ft 6 rod and it fells goooood. the reel weighs 9 ounces so lit enough 2 hold all day long.

cheers barry :) :)

I have the Shimano Stradic 4000 too, it came highly recommended. Its a great reel!

got the shimano Technium 4000FB last month lovely reel used it for pollock and mackerel still no Bass

I got the Shimano Exage 4000 RA this year.

Nice and light and well able to play decent pollock.

i find the baitrunner the best, but is this considered a fresh water reel? i thought it was so it needs extra care and attention in saltwater

recently got the stradic 4000 ra loaded with braid , lovely job....

I'd buy the Stradic, too!
But dont forget to buy the front drag version (FA, FB, FI or FH), because they are more resistant and have a better drag! I use a TwinpowerFA and feel very good with it, but it might cost more than you want to spend.
I've got Baitrunners in my home country too, but I'd never put them close to any salt water...
And to be honest, they are no spinnfishing reels, but quite good for carp and pike fishing.

In germany a lot of anglers use the cardiff for larger baits in fresh water, too! Have fun with it wayne! Do you know whether it's salt water resistant? An other good baitcaster for sea angling might be the Abu Revo Inshore, that is realy salt water resistant.

cheers!
