Default Re: Best Spinning Reel?

Surprised no one metioned weight. You do not need more than 14oz reel for bucktailing fluke. I use a 7' St. Croix rod w/ a 10-to-11oz Pfluegger reel.
Backup reel is a Shimano 4000 series that weighs 13.7oz.
My alternate outfit is a 7-1/2' St. Croix baitcaster w/ a Abu-Garcia 5500C that weighs only 9.5oz.
