Each month, Boston-based reel manufacturer Cheeky Fishing will highlight the Cheeky Reel best suited for the month’s fishing techniques and styles. For July, the reel of choice in Massachusetts is the Cheeky CYDRO 4500.
Red, white and bluefish. While June is often considered the month of striped bass, the start of July presents a new quarry for the New England coastal angler … bluefish. These toothy critters follow the warming waters north from the Carolina’s to their summer spawning grounds off the coast of New England. In Massachusetts, Independence Day typically marks the first appearance of blues into our local waters, where they will remain through the month of August. A favorite of light tackle anglers for their ferocious runs and top water takes, bluefish will test the mettle of any drag system. That’s why our reel of choice for July is the Cheeky CYDRO 4500. The perfect inshore saltwater spinning reel, the CYDRO 4500 is light enough to cast all day, and packs the punch to tame the most aggressive blue without breaking a sweat.
