Best budget ultralight reel?
Nov 19, 2021 09:42:01 #
Lately I have been using a little ultralight settup to catch micro tarpon, trout, and mangrove snappers etc. its an ugly stick dock runner spooled with abt 120yds of 6lb mono. I’d like to upgrade the reel quality, but still keep same size and light weight of dock runner reel. As a kid I don’t wana spend more than 35$ lol at most like 45$ Thankyou!

Check out the Cadence Ideal Spinning reel. Here's a link on Amazon. I love this reel for light fishing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0872B5CCY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_BA9J8N2VWPNQ4EWT6EEE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It's got a nice drag and has served me well. I ended up buying a back up because I liked it so much.

For about $30.00, go with the Shimano Sienna 500FG Spinning Reel. About the same size and weight as that Dock Runner Reel, but much smoother. This ultralight 6.5 oz. reel should pair well with that rod and any other ultralight to light action spinning rods. The Sienna 500 is one of dozens of reels I own and use.
