What is in your mind the best quality long casting fishing reel?
I'm looking for a new long casting reel for surf fishing and throwing drum rigs off piers.
For heaving drum rigs the Penn Squidder 250. For long casting with plugs, buck tails and other artificial baits in the surf, one can never go wrong with the Penn 525 Mag and the Shimano Calcutta 400S or 400BSV. I have changed the bearings in the Calcuttas, with Abec 7 bearings. The smoothness and distance of my casts, have greatly improved., with the change. I use 17 to 20 lbs. test mono. Heavier lines tend to dampen the cast.
With the Penn 250 I use heavy action 11ft. rod. The Penn 525 is matched with an 11ft. rod custom made from a British made Conoflex blank (really good for long distance casting). The Calcuttas are matched with heavy action 8ft. Lamiglas baitcasters, good when fishing with bucktails and rubber worms and when walking the dog.
