REELS
Reel choice also needs to be powerful with tough gearing and a strong but smooth flowing drag. A 4500 or 5000 is the ideal size with the 10ft rod and balances well. Line capacity needs to be around 250m of 15lb (0.35mm) line. A faster gear ratio around 5.7:1 or faster makes retrieving less effort but maintains a high lure speed if needed and the addition of stainless-steel ball-bearings also makes the reel smoother, more efficient and more pleasing to use when constantly casting.
