Hi,
Has anyone used a Drennan Red feeder reel and the Shimano Alivio 2500RC reel - and would like to share their views on each?
I have a Drennan Red float reel which is nice. I wanted a slightly larger reel for my feeder fishing rod so looked at the Drennan Red feeder reel but the line capacity wasn't big enough. After a bit of research I went with a Shimano Alivio 2500RC reel for £19. It's arrived today but the reel itself is a tad smaller than the Red float reel. The spool is slightly bigger but I'm surprised the reel overall is smaller.
The Alivio reel only has 2 ball bearings, but so do more expensive Shimano reel. Is the Alivio reel any good for feeder fishing? Is it better or on par with the Drennan Red feeder reel?
Thanks.
