Looking for reel under 100
Current rod:
- 6’6” Jarvis walker classic 3 series
- 3–6kg rating
Mainly fishing Melbourne estuaries and light saltwater for:
- flathead
- bream
- salmon
- squid
Mostly using:
- soft plastics
- topwater
- small metal lures
Budget is under $100 AUD.
I’ve been looking at:
- Daiwa Crossfire LT 2500S-XH
- Daiwa Laguna LT 2500
- Shimano Sedona/Sienna
- maybe some KastKing reels
Planning to run 10lb J-Braid X8.
What reel would you guys recommend for the best balance of:
- smoothness
- saltwater durability
- casting performance
- value for money
Thanks.
