Which reel?
Ok, I'm looking at getting a baitcasting reel in the near future for
both inshore saltwater and freshwater fishing. I've been looking
lately, and due to certain discounts(employee), I'm trying to choose
between the following reels:Shimano Catala CTL300 Abu Garcia 6500C3 Line capacity is more than enough for me on either one, so I'm
wondering which one is better in you guys' opinion. Thanks, Mark |

| I would choose the Catala. It is more geared for saltwater use than the Abu
reel you listed. Brad Coovert

| In most cases I would go with a Shimano reel but the Catala is not a
dollar reel and is not the reel a Curado is...
The Abu 6500C3 or C4 doesn't have a thumbar spool release, and it may be
too big for freshwater fishing.. The Abu 5600 series does have a thumbar
spool release and can be used for in shore saltwater as well as
freshwater. the Abu 5600 uses the same drag as the 6500/6600 series
IMO the Abu reel wold be a better choice than the Catala.. Get-R-Done |
