#2996, "New Travel Rod: Looking for a reel"


  

          

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.

--John

Sorry,

Major Craft, not Master craft.

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
