What are some good cheep little reels to catch trigger fish with?

 

[lobsterman]

We just use a Spheros for bait and triggers.

 

[Linkovich]

I just use a penn 5500 with braid. Works great

 

[CobeKing]

I need 2 conventionals.

Fish with something lite. Triggers sometimes bite very lightly. If your fishing with to heavy of rod/reel you won't even feel it. Sometimes insted of biting with the typical pulling motion you will just feel your weight get light. They're biting up instead of down. Stay light.

I like a spinner with 50lb braid and 200gram Uglystik tiger lite jigging rod. You can feel em looking at it!!

Anyone got any ideas for conventional reels???

Look around for some either used or new 4/0 Penns on light action stand up rods. No need in deep research for these. Straight forward stuff. Load em' with 30# or 40#. Probably your most cost effective bet. Not fancy, but, they thouroughly get the job done...

Heard good things about the trq series from Penn that jlw1972 mentioned. I'm gonna put my plug in for Avet. I have a couple of MXLs spooled with 30lb mono and I don't have any complaints yet. Got one on a graphite blank, and it's almost weightless.

OR.....If your wanting something other end of the spectrum, Buy you a couple Shimano TLD15's. Hard to beat the TLD series and you can get em for around $100 new.

And they will last for ever bottomfishing.

Shakespeare Tidewaters , I got 2 i'll sell you, I've had good use out of them , but don't use them any more, switch to spinners for bait rods now

I have 2 SX avets on light daiwa saltiga jigging rods that I use for triggers,mingos, and catching bait. 400 yards of 50lb braid. They are also fun little blackfin reels

 

[CobeKing]

Ill look into the TLDs forgot about them thanks guys

 

[Stink Bait]

Avet SX on a Shimano Trevala jigging rod , 30# mono. Mingos, snapper, triggers even caught a few small aj's , ultra-lite setup its a blast.

 

[DHB699]

I have a couple of Penn 309 in great shape if your interested.

 

[johnboatjosh]

Hell, I'll give you my trigger set up because apparently someone placed a curse on it. It only catches 13"-13 3/4" trigger fish. Can't seem to ever find the legal ones.

 

[CobeKing]

What setup you fish with?
