Fixed Spool Reel?

Well as you know the PowerStix reel seat is snug! to the butt...fished it with 4 different reels now all on 30-40lb braid...

Tica 10000 - Big Pit type
Diawa - Big Pit type
Shamino Cardiff 401 -small 'multi'
Mitchel 7000 - Med Spinner type

Have noticed that the smaller reels perform better for distance casting 100+yds up to 30yds extra...don't know if this is to do with the smaller reels a more inline with the eyes and closer to the butt!...not advising ye to get small reel but consider one step down from big pit type... best luck ...great rod...

ps... if yer going for a Navi make sure tis latest version (lot of old 2009 versions still selling a 2011 prices!)

Cheers gerryl have already bought the Shimano Biomaster.

Welcome m8 ...now ya got a great reel as well...enjoy

Will do. And cheers.

To tell you the truth Shimino are one of the best reels out there IMHO
