Someone gave me a BRAND new reel.

[LucG]

Hey guys,

 

I have just been given a brand new reel. My uncle won it in a golf tourny last summer and dosent fish.

 

I was wondering if paired with the right rod, could it be used for bass fishing. The reason I ask is because it seems a little big.

 

Here are the specs...

 

Rapala SX4i

4 Ball Bearings

Reel Size 30

Ratio 5.1:1

Line Cap 8-200 10-155 12-100

 

Any advice on what type of rod it could be matched with as well as what type of bass fishing it would be best for, I would greatly apreciate.

 

Thanks

Because it weighs 12 ozs. I would take it with you to your local tackle shop and test it out with a few rods. You want it to be nice and balanced so you are not fighting with the rod all day.

that would actually fit nicely on an : r-type rod they're reasonably priced, I got a 6'7" medium heavy for $99 @ the last spring boat & fishing show. Similar shimano models sells for 3x that.
