Good afternoon,
First a brief introduction: i’m Eric from the Netherlands, 57 years young..., and fishing for whole my life. I like feedering on both big and small rivers and stills. Also i have been 5 times at Iceland for, mainly, cod fishing. What i don’t like is specific predator fishing however once in a while i catch a pike on the feeder. I appreciate this forum for the generaal knowledge of tackle, techniques and specimen.
I think the general fishing possibilities in the Netherlands are different from that in the UK. We have a very few commercials, big rivers, many small rivers and stills.
For my heavy feeder rod, Tri-Cast Euro Legend feeder, i want to upgrade my reel. I now use a Shimano Technium 6000 but want a reel for greater distances in case the river Lek, which is a tidal river, is high to reach the main stream.
My shortlist is now a Shimano XSC 5500 Ci4+ or a Daiwa TDR Distance. What are your opinions about this reels? Money is not the main factor. That’s quality. If you Guy cheep, you buy twice! I already have a TDR 3012 (fine reel for my Tri-Cast XRS short method feeder or 10 ft AX Beastmaster), Twin Power 4000 for my 4x4 Ultralight and Super Ultegra 10000 XSA for my carp rods. Both brands are ok however I dislike the increasing plastic content of Shimano...
Many thanks in advance for your replies!
