    Default What Reel Do You Use For Fishing Brushpiles?


    OK, let me ask this. If are going to fish near a brushpile, casting jigs & counting them down, what reel/rod would you use?

    Thanks

    I use the Wally Marshal spinning reels - they are cheap and do a good job - I have a couple of shimano AR2000 also - they too are inexspensive but still catch fish

    I too use Wally Marshall And Shimano"s. They make up about 80% of my reels. I use them for all my Fishing.

    I have a couple of decent Shimanos myself. As long as they are smooth and quickfire is all I really care about.

    Did'nt care for Quantum reels till i used a buddies last fall. Since then i've bought 2-KT10PTi Kenetic, 1-KT20PTi Kenetic, 1- CT10PTi Catalyst. Put them on 2- 5'-6" Ugly Stik UL, 6'-6" Ugly Stik L, and a 7' Wally Marshall L. Someone had a post (i answered yesterday) about the new Zebco Slab Seeker reels, I returned 2 today to BPS they're very poorly made for the 19.95 price tag.
