13 fishing concept z freshwater/saltwater baitcasting fishing reel 7.3:1 Gear Ratio Reel,Tequila Sunrise Sports, Fitness & Outdoors Introducing the Concept Z Baitcaster:

For trolling, consider using the Daiwa Tatula LT or the SHIMANO Stradic CI4

I only fished with it for a short time and then replaced it with something else

Bring an underwater light into the mix and you can have a really big time fishing from the shore or dock

Other notable features include a compact bent handle and drag star and a synchronized level wind system

Even with these, rinse your reel after saltwater use to prevent rust

Pros: Hagane metal body resists flex under heavy pike Magnetic VBS braking stays consistent through the cast Excellent smoothness for its mid-range price point Cons: Stock handle knob feels undersized for big fish Line capacity is modest for very long-range casting At around 100-150 on amazon.co.uk depending on retailer stock, the Shimano SLX XT 150 delivers genuine mid-range value and is arguably the safest all-round recommendation on this list check current price for todays figure
