OhioFisherman Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Garry is right about the rod, lighter action rod for lighter baits. http://www.fostersofbirmingham.co.uk/st10785 Another option, these reels, same style as the 507(500) series were much more popular in England and European match fishermen, only sold in very limited quantities here. A fixed spool reel, drag is in the winding mechanism, just helps to eliminate line twist. Ryobi I believe made a conventional spinning reel with the same sort of set up. 704 is a newer model and smaller (lighter) than the 507, closer to the 505 506 size reels. LOL they cast much better than conventional closed faced reels, line opening is much larger over all. Less friction.
