[turley]

7ft 2-5kg I would suggest a reel in the 2500 range. match that size to which ever reel you have budgeted for.

daiwa td sol

cant beat em for the price dont care what anyone says

10 tiimes better than any stradic and a mate has a stella 2500 that i dont think measures up and it was $400 more and no spare spool.

I agree with matthill 80, a mate off mine has that combo a 2-5 kg t-curve with 2500 daiwa sol. I also have the same reel on a different rod and cant say a bad thing about it. It is small, light weight, has a six kilo drag and will handle most things you put it up against in the bay.

I agree with you matt, that the 2500 SOL is a great reel. But I dont agree it is nicer than the stella. The 2500 stella size only has a drag of 2.5kg, but the 3000/4000 stella has a drag of 20lb!!! I know I have all of them!

you got to admit that the stellas are still smoother..... but a lot pricier, especially without a spare spool (cost around $130 USD)

if your price range is around $300, thenthe Daiwa SOL is the way to go, if you have a few more bucks to spare, then I'd go the stella 3000 or 4000 for sure!! (or even a daiwa certate)

my two cents anyway.....
