Paul’s Tackle Reviews - Cadence Fishing CS10 3000 & 4000 Reels 

Great review of the Cadence CS10 reels Paul..I've always been a Shimano man in the dim & distant past,still using a Shimano Aero Match 3 for light waggler work & a Shimano Stradic GTM 3000 for my canal bream feeder fishing.. however I'm fully aware of Cadence,having subscribed to their website and I'm now thinking of purchasing the CS10 3000 for pairing up with my Drennan Acolyte Ultra 11ft float rod for light balsa wagglers and also Drennan visi wags for ranges upto 30 metres on the wider sections for my canal bream fishing.. also I would pair up the 3000 size with my Drennan Acolyte Ultra 10ft bomb rod & my Preston Supera SL 11ft light feeder for fishing small cages or window feeders for bream work as well.. Excellent review.

Thank you for your simple , informative and unbiased review

different class for reviews love the detail ...i find it difficult to see sponsored reviews prefer a little bit of unbiased opinion

Nice one Paul well done 👍

Great video Paul. Very informative as usual. As a side note, I was interested in your comments about line. I think most of us who have been doing this for some time know that the Manufacturers stated diameters and stated breaking strains vary wildly. For example Guru Drag line in 8lbs breaking strain is 0.28mm. This is massively different to the Matrix line you showed which states it is 0.20mm. Other manufacturers provide lines of 8lbs breaking strain, but again all with different stated diameters. Of course people will say that the difference is due to some line being 'High Tech' or 'Pre-Stretched', but this is a minefield for newbie anglers. If you are able, I think it would be a useful exercise to put some of these claims to the test, especially with the line going to a knot. For example, the Figure 8 Knot most of us use to attach hooklengths. I would do it myself, but it gets very expensive to ship lines out to Australia, only to find they don't measure up.

I have a couple of the 4000s and good review just one thing is the line lay has a rear taper even with washers removed! I mean slightly lays more line at rear of spool really annoying. But smooth loads of cranking power and totally agree with the wouldn’t pay more for the Daiwa, I own 3 tdms and 2 tdrs are they better than the cadence? Only on line lay but the cs10 is a fantastic reel

Preston magnitude range of reels is very similar reels for very similar price

Another great video. I have just started fishing with a pole and want to buy some rods and reels next, do you use their rods too. Many thanks

Thanks for a great informal video Paul. This Is the sc5 3000 and sc10 4000 reels your talking about ? Because I think there now £49.99 which is a very reasonable price.

One of the most important points is reach from finger to spool lip
