I am new to fishing in the NW and am in the
process of getting my Mooching tackle.
I have a GL STR1025C rod, and am looking for a reel for it. I have heard the best Mooching
reel is the Shimano Bantam 1000, but also
heard that Shimano Calcutta 250 is as good
for Mooching but can also be used for river
fishing. I am thinking of using this set up
with 2 to 4 oz banana weights and plug cut
herring in the sounds. Any info would be
appreciated.

Thank you
