Default Re: Electric Reel Recommendation

Give some serious thought to the battery as well. Lithium batteries are the way to go being much lighter than lead acid. I use the Battery Tender BTL35A480C Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery on all my electric reels including the Shimano Beastmaster 9000. Rod selection is also important. Get one with a curved butt and he can put it in the rod holder instead of holding it all day.
