Shimano Reel Help.

[dace]

getting a couple of new outfits. a shimano match and feeder rods and am looking to get a pair of the new exage reels but not being familiar with shimano reels they come in 1000/2500/4000 sizes and am not sure which ones to get. i use 2/3lb line on my match rod usually waggler fishing on stillwaters and use 2/5lb line on my feeder rod. if anyone has experience in shimano reel sizes any help would really be appreciated.
cheers

Right, for the last two years, I have being using the Shimano Nexave Reel 3000R which I used for float fishing which is loaded at 3lb B.S. line and I also have the 4000R which I do used for feeder fishing which the line is at 6lb Monofilment line and another spare spool at Spiderwire 30lb Braid line which is the equivalent to 10lb mono.

You will find all the Shimano reels are all very good and robust as long you look after them like washing the reel to remove the dirt and grease & groundbait

So there is nothing wrong with your choice mate as you might find it better than the Nexave! or on the other hand you might find it cheaper than buying the Nexave than the Exage

A word of a advice mate take your rod with you and make sure the reel fit properly and feel the balance as sometimes not all reel fit in the reel seat of the rods!
