I have been ringing around some of the local (and not so local) fishing tackle shops looking for a cheap(ish) spinning reel suitable for plugging for bass. Now you would think that at least one of the shops would have something useful in stock. But NO, just lots of dippy comments, and absolutely no idea about plugging.
I thought times were tough for many of the coastal fishing shops, and you would have thought that they would at least try and stock something for pluggers. But I guess not.
Really pee'd off, I need a reel asap for a mate who has just blown up a Shimano, and he is after a cheaper reel while his is back at Shimano being repaired. Now several manufacturers finally seem to make suitable reels-some even listed for saltwater spinning. But the shops don't stock them-GGgggggRRRRrrrrrrr
Too late for next day delivery, thought it would be easy to find SOMETHING useful.
All I can say is thank god for decent shops like those listed on here, at least they bother to find and stock decent gear. I just wish they were closer to sussex.
Frankly the local shops can get stuffed-I won't bother to try and support them again.
