Default Spinning reel for bass

"Gary Udstrand" wrote in message

I am looking to replace my current spinning reel and would appreciate any
recommendations. The reel will be mated with a 6'6" Avid M rod and be

used
mainly to fish plastics (Senkos and Tubes).

Thanks

I have had decent luck with the Shimano Symetre (I have 2 of them), but for
close to the same price I like the Daiwa Whisker SS 1600 (I have 4 of this
one) much better. I seem to get much longer casts with light baits.My
Pfluegers spinning reels all seem to be falling apart and I felt like I
kinda got a rash of attitude from them about a bad handle design under
warranty when I contacted them. In fact I contacted them on a couple of
occasions and came away unsatisfied both times.

Daiwa and Shimano have both treated me much better.
