"Reel" Challenge Anyone, Lots of ?'s - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sdspeed · 09-16-2012, 03:18 AM

I was given the following reels by a friend who retired. I’m trying to pick 3 or 4 to keep to set-up my first kayak assortment . They are all in great shape but will need new line. Anyone have any suggestions on what if any to keep and the type of line to put on the keepers. I plan on fishing the Bay and LJ of course. Working on a tight budget so thought I could recycle these for awhile.

Conv. Reels
Penn 500
Penn 211
Penn 210
Penn Peer 309
Penn 140 Squidder

Spinning Reels:
Daiwa 7700
Daiwa 6000
Daiwa 5500
Daiwa Long Caster-X
Garcia Mitchell 302

Tks,
