I am really hesitating between a Penn Spinfisher VI 8500 (170$) that I saw on sale online and a Shimano Spheros SW 14000 PG (207$).
I’ve been looking for a reel in the 200$ range to pair with a Noeby Voyager Travel 3 piece popping rod to put together a very versatile setup for popping / jigging from the shore, boat & kayak.
Any recommendations ? I’m also open to other rods, or reels.
This would be to target GTs, Tuna, Wahoo and other medium pelagics.
I’m still fairly new to fishing, I’ve invested in a small setup from AliExpress (I know I know…) a few months ago that has turned out to been very surprising to be honest and which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, see latest GT.
