Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Daiwa '10 Certate or Shimano '11 Twinpower

Post by ahfok88 » Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:45 pm

Hi guys,

I want to settle for a good saltwater luring reel and light jigging, but I'm totally confused now when there is so much reels to choose from. Can you guys help me out in choosing the best reel from all of the 4 reels mention below? Thank you so much guys. Greatly appreciated.

Rdgs,
Andy Jeremiah.

The Certate 2500R is not recommended for saltwater use.

Hmmm...that is odd, but good information if accurate?

Seems that Jun from Japan Tackle like the 2004 previous generation 2500R for light inshore just fine:

That is just the vintage model that tackle warehouse has on sale. The others should be safe for salt water.
