Title: What reels?
Post by: Santosh Shanmuga on November 16, 2008, 10:59:36 AM

What do you think are the best reels for popping? Shimanos? Daiwas? Accurates?
I was specifically looking at the Shimano Stellas and Saragosas, the Daiwa Saltiga Z6000GT, Z6500 EXP, and Z6500 Dogfight, and the Accurate TwinSpin SR30.

Stella or Saltiga. I use Stellas and my mate uses Saltigas. Nothing to complain about on either. Don't know about the Twinspin but I don't think it has caught on as much for GT popping as Accurate would have liked.

Yeah, the TwinSpins are popular here in the US for tuna on the west coast and popping for sharks on the east coast.
