cynmar Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Well my little Korean, Canadian tire 7bearing spinning reel has finally bit the dust after 6 years. I am looking for a small spinning reel for use with my light action Daiwa rod that I use for perch. Even though light action , this rod has landed a 41" Northern with this little reel. I have a Pfleuger President but at around 11 oz. it is way to heavy for this set up. Any suggestions, looking at not much over $100.00 so lower end Shimano , or Pflueger or other. I'm not brand dominated, just want a relatively good, long lasting reel. (And it's 6' rod not 6" , Bill you dummy) Bill Edited July 29, 2011 by fishingBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I just picked up a Shimano Saros 1000F for my oldman because he liked using mine so much. 750 body size with the 1000 sized spool. Absolutely love it. Use it for everything from specs to walleyes. Edited July 29, 2011 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 a sienna 1000 is more then enough for perch and it's about $40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Love Bill's choice! But, I hate to say it, I agree with Geoff If it is mostly being used strictly for perch, no need to shell out too much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah, the Saros isn't exactly cheap. Sienna or even the Sahara would be a great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark02 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Go with the Daiwa Whisker SS 700. They are under $100. Bullet proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2fish85 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 What size President do you own they have a few different sizes I'm sure the 6725 would work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynmar Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 What size President do you own they have a few different sizes I'm sure the 6725 would work just fine. I've got the 6735, find it a bit heavy. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvaholic Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I really like my Pflueger Supreme. Nice and lite, solid reel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyfish Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 theres a quantum energy pti 10 for sale in the classifieds i just seen. that would be the perfect reel for u. its a small sized reel, very reliable, light weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynmar Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the input guys, I saw the Quantum in the classifieds, didn't know how heavy it was, going to check it out as well as the other suggestions. Great help. Bill Edited August 1, 2011 by fishingBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Check out the tiny lite from basspro as well if all you are looking for is a lightweight reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill I know what you mean it's not that light I own the 35 as well but I know the 25 isn't to heavy something to look at. I love pflueger reels, by far my favorite for spinning reels.
