2996, New Travel Rod: Looking for a reel Posted by J Hinds, Fri Oct-06-06 09:06 PM
Hey All,
I have just picked up a great new travel rod. I am looking for a reel to pair it up with.
THe rod is 6'4" casting (Master Craft). I am looking for a reel that excels at casting light lures, can handle both fresh and salt (I want to stay versatile), and is relatively light weight.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I am thiniking about fishing braid for versatility's sake, but I was thinking not more than 8lb diam (notwithstanding the rod specs).
I am not all that concerned about capacity, it is more important to me that the reel be small for travel packing purposes.
Rod Specs as follows: 6'4" 1/4-3/4 oz 10-16lb
Thanks.

The Cardiff is a great deal for $100. If you want a low profile look at the Citica 100DSV. It should be plaeny for both fresh and salt
