I’m looking at 2500 size reels for my Perch and Chub fishing this winter on small rivers.
I’ll be the first to admit that I tend to gravitate towards Shimano front drag reels so the 2500 size Ultegra FC looks decent to me - and is a sensible price (circa £100). I’d be pairing it with an 11ft Avon style rod.
Does anyone have real world experience of this reel range or any other recommendations?
