  • Spinning reel

    I've just got a Shimano Vengeance Sea Spin Bass (8ft, 20-60g), to try some spinning this summer. I've got a Shimano Exage 5000 reel that I used on my 2-4oz bass rod, but it's a bit big for the spinning rod, so I'm looking at getting a 3000 or 4000 size reel. Any recommendations? What size are people using on an 8ft rod? (I've ordered some spectra braid .28mm off eBay aswell).

        I've got a shimano stradic GTM RC 4000 on my 8ft bushy. It's a fantastic reel. Really strong and the 12lb braid flies off it.
        All the gear, no idea.
