leeds chimp Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Looking at getting a new reel for my carping and float/ledger fishing....nothing too heavy ...last one had 6lb line and and coped with what i had to throw at it.... Been looking at the Shimano Exage 4000 RB as I do like the double handle on reels (I have Shimano 10k EXTA for my "serious" carping)... Any comments or advice???

fletcher1234565 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Try the Shimano Super X GTM or the Shimano Stradic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Try the Shimano Super X GTM or the Shimano Stradic. did think of the Stradic but gone are the days when i can justify splashing out £100 on it.

charliebrown Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Ive got a Drennan series seven for the bit of feeder fishing and while not the best in the world is certainly worth the money. Its ideal for fishing feeder and bomb anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross-obrien Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 did think of the Stradic but gone are the days when i can justify splashing out £100 on it. I have stradics in 3000 and 4000 variety They are the best reels i have owned. I got them off fleebay for around £60 plus delivery brand new.
