Light tackle spinning reels are reels that are ideal for inshore angling. Line capacity and strength in the 8 to 15 pound test range make them good for a variety of fish.

1. Shimano Symetre 1500

This reel comes from the midrange of Shimano's spinning reels. It has four ball bearings and Shimano's Super Stopper II anti-reverse rollers and interchangeable left or right hand retrieves, a standard Shimano feature.

2. Daiwa Black Gold BG15

Daiwa's Black Gold Series can handle any saltwater fishing you have. The BG15 is a light tackle size, perfect for inshore casting and lines up to 15 pound test. I have used these reels for a number of years with very good results.

3. Penn Slammer 460 Reel

This is a bit of a heavyweight among light spinning reels, but it is Penn quality with a solid metal housing.

4. Shakespeare Catera Spinning Reel

This is a relatively low priced reel that really works as well its higher priced cousins. The six bearing s make it very smooth.
