LucG Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited March 9, 2010 by LucG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethespike Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 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. bravo_3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
