Reel question

[Carpenter]

What size spinning reel do you typically use on a general purpose walleye rod. 4/6/8 lb reel or 6/8/10 lb reel? Spooling it with braid. The reels I'm choosing between are the pflueger president 6925 and 6930. I think I've previously chosen the 30, but with the braid is the bigger size necessary?

Thanks

I use the 6930 on all my walleye set ups. You are going to get a little bit more line on your retrieves per crank and max drag is higher, but it adds a bit more weight. I like a little more pulling power, but they are pretty much the same.

I personally like the smaller reels for my open water rods. I do not care for the added weight. 200 series or smaller works good for me.

If I am jigging or casting alot in a day, the last thing I want is a heavy set up.

I also go lighter. I use 6lb mono

Ive recently found that the 1000 series shimano and the 25 series Pfluegers are about the same size.....I too like the 1000 on all my open water rods, Never had an issue or need for anything bigger other than on my pike/catfish/snapping turtle gear.

I prefer the 30's over the 25's. Have two on my panfish rods,with a third in waiting for when my 20+ year old symetre 1000 fails.
