Default Re: Spinning reel for fluke

I use ballistics in 2500, 3000 and 4000 sizes for various types of fishing from freshwater water river fishing for walleye, back bay ocean beach fluke, throwing small metals off the ocean beaches, and jigging fluke and sea bass off the boat.

I've landed 20 lb stripers, a 46 inch pure strain muskie and more than my share of cow nosed rays...along with false albacore, bluefish and even a 26" gag grouper off the skyway pier in Tampa.

They're solid reels. Very different drag feel vs a shimano. A different type of smooth...not buttery, but not clunky or jumpy either. It's hard to explain...I'm a huge fan. I've been using them since their metal body version debuted. I think it was the EX. I also have some with the newer Zaion (sp?) Frames. I'm gonna upgrade soon to an MQ to see if I like them too.
