Musky reel for casting big bucktails

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

Im in the market for a new musky reel. I want something that is ideal for casting big bucktails - double 8's and double 10 cowgirls.

 

What gear ratio is best recommended? Any certain/ specific reels that are designed exactly for this style of fishing?

 

I need a left hand retrieve. Budget is around $300 or so.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob

If you are looking at a combo to burn bucktails you should be looking at Avet reels. They fit into your price range but are non level wind and have a lever drag, so a bit different from a conventional musky reel. If you want to go more expensive shimano makes an ocea jigger in lefty, but it is 500+.

If you just want to pull in big blades easily I would agree with PABMusky and go with the winch. I just bought one and will be using it this weekend. I have heard from several people that it makes pulling in the big blades effortless.
