Ultralight reels (freshwater)
Dec 2, 2021 09:00:10 #
Old, grizzled fisherman but fairly new to mountain stream trout fishing. I need a relatively fast ultralight reel. It can be a spinning reel or a spin-cast with a trigger. Any suggestions?

If looking for a spinning reel with trigger you may limit your choices to Shimano. I have a 4000 series with a sticky, unreliable trigger that now gets ignored.

Twitch, you also might look into a Pflueger President 20, a rock solid reel for $50.

Cabela's has them on sale, I bought a 30 and 35 model for $49. They're a special type of President, Red in color and can't wait to take them out and fish. Cast today in backyard and smooth as silk!
