I’ve caught all kinds of saltwater fish with these two Shimano spinning reels. And when fishing for redfish, snook, and trout with artificial lures, having a very light and smooth reel like this is essential.

Why?

Because every ounce of savings in weight you can get will result in much more comfort on a long day of casting.

Since I primarily fish with artificial lures, I always make time to feel the latest and greatest reels whenever possible to see if there are any that I need to purchase.

One of the first lightweight reels that I have been a huge fan of is this Shimano Ci4.

These reels are very lightweight and smooth, while also having impressive drag performance at a whopping 20 lbs for their 2500 and 3000 size reels.

So if you haven’t yet tried one out, I recommend picking one up at a local fishing shop so you can feel how it performs compared to the others.
