Rebel Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hi Everybody, I just bought a Dawia demon blood 962mh 9'6" rod. They are on special this weekend. I am going to use it for lures only off the beach. I have four reels to choose from. Fin-nor Lethal 100 Shimano c14 6000 Thunnus. Shimano c14 Ultegra 14000 Pflueger 080sm salt ( bit heavy). All new reels, so I won't be buying anymore at the moment. Any suggestions which one will I use. I am not into braid I only use mono line. I am from the old school. Cheers.

mii11x Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 14000 size for lure casting off the beach, your arms must be massive man. Thats a pretty big reel to hold for a couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hi, The Ultegra 14000 weighs half a kilo. Great reel for beach fishing. Check it out on UTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I like my FinNor Lethal LT100. The bail arm doesn't fli back until you do it. Good for casting and 24KG of drag. Might be a bit heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Do you plan chasing jewfish? I believe a 6 or 8000 size shimano would be ample for lures off the beach. I do a lot of tailor and salmon spinning off the beach, with braid however and a 5000 size shimano is more than big enough. Best thing would be to take your rod down to your tackle shop and try a few reels to see what feels comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 HI, I chase anything that lands on the hook. I think I will try the Lethal 100 for starters. I have a 10ft Abu Garcia Veritas 3.0 with a Lethal 80 on it and it casts a country mile. The Demon weighs nothing so the 100 should be ok. Thanks for the advice every one. Cheers.
