@@joes9908 Ive had a few veritas rods and a vendetta rod with my curado and some slx reels and there rods are great. If you meant comparing the two its on preference but Ive never had a problem with any of my shimano reels. Most of my shimano reels are a lot higher end reels so it wouldn’t be fair to compare but I would say my slx vs gen4 revo x perform about the same. Both still work great after 2 years.
@ I love the Shimanos in Spinning reels (have Stradic in 5000 and 2500) but are a but pricey in bait casters. Ended up with Lews as a compromise. Did Ok steelhead fishing in Pa. Returning home on Friday. Got to watch the Steeler games for two weeks in Pittsburgh
@ yeah Ive never tried a abu reel over 100 dollars so excited to try this combo with the zata reel. I will say I have a shimano nexave that was 50 bucks probably one of the best budget spinning reels Ive used. I really want to get a vanford one day
How do you like the Abu products with Shimano for bait casters?
