If 30, or 3000 series is an all around spool for lake/shoreline fishing would there be a scenario where it's overkill? What's the disadvantage of using a reel that's too big?
Ice fishing for example, you'd want a smaller reel. Ultralight setup, you'd want a smaller reel. You want to balance your reel weight to your rod weight. The other thing to consider is how many inches 1 revolution of the reel pulls in as well as drag strength. For panfishing, I use a 1000 or 2000. 3000 is a general size as previously mentioned and can really catch anything but probably shines with fish in the 2-15 lb range in my experience.. Larger than that, you should be targeting larger fishing like massive catfish, sturgeon, or offshore species and have a larger reel.
Awesome, I just bought a 3000 Daiwa Black Widow for my father in law at $99. Given it's a baitrunner (he fishes with live bait at lakes and lures on the shoreline) there are slight differences, but for lake and spinner fishing I'm wondering if I made the right choice. I plugged in Google searches for days trying to find the best sub $100 reel and now this Plueger Supreme comes up. Is it really a Slick Deal for this specific usage and price?
I won't call it overkill. Bigger wheels are heavier, it may sacrifice some sensitivity and put more stress on your arm.
