Are the Shimanos the Trevala? If so which models?

I am probably going to bring my TCX 7126 to see if there is anything I can swing a trade for... who knows there's always a chance.
When I get back to WA in a couple weeks I’ll take pics
I might be looking for a decent but inexpensive 6 weight reel to go on my beach stick
Any models in particular?
No, just something I can use for coho and pinks off the beach since my 5/6 reel reached the end of it's life. Bonus points if it has a second spool. I just don't have a lot of disposable funds at the moment.
I may have something. I'll bring a few with me if I get a chance to dig them out.
But if anyone else has something, bring those too so Gary can shop a bit
I wouldn't mind a gear combo to toss spinners and Dick Nites with for coho and pinks from the boat and shore. I've been using really cheap, medium light gear with 6 foot rods that work fine, mostly, but having a mid-range baitcaster or spinning reel setup would be nice. I've never owned a baitcaster and I probably should get one so I can honestly say I'm trying to be a more well-rounded angler.
I'm sure I can whip something up for you. Let me dig through all my stuffs and I'll bring something. So you want baitcaster and not spinning for this?
I guess? And jigs, I have been fishing a lot of jigs too and you all seem to think a bait caster is better for that, right?
Twitching jigs? I'd honestly go with spinning for all that. I use baitcasters when I can, but I think for most applications and most anglers, a spinning rod is the better choice. The one and only exception to that is swinging spoons. Then it's baitcaster or nothing.
I'm gonna keep spoon swinging on the to-do list for now. Spinning rod it is! Thank you.
Anyone have a stupid entry level rod for a 7 year old? Probably a push button over spinning real with the little flippy thing (I know, def using the right language).
My kid had what amounted to a barbie one but she broke it last year. She uses her Echo Gecko in streams, but a spinning rod is good for her when we go to ponds/lakes.
I can probably go to fishermans marine and get one for less than $50 but I just figure I'd check here.

I recommend an ultralight Ugly Stick spincasting rod with a Zebco closed spincasting reel (like the Zebco 33). Both are pretty bombproof and it is what I learned on.
As usual.... I can probably provide.
Maybe we should do another of these at your house!
I’ll be day-tripping Saturday and bringing a fly and spin rod plus a JW Young reel. Is the group camp the place to be?
Yes sir! Group camp is where we'll be.
