Reel advice????

#1 Post by breamers boy »

I am looking into getting the hto rockfish UL and I was wondering what reel people found fits the rod best. Im hoping to have the rod nice and balanced for casting tiny lures. Help is appreciated!!

Ive got the catana 2500 on mine. I find it a tiny bit too big. Any shimano 1000 would be perfect.
I opted for the 2500 as it was only a small bit bigger and ive got heavier braid on the 2nd spool so it doubles up as a spare for my wrassing.

shimano catana 1000 would be perfect. I've had one for 3 years and still going strong.

You'll get two spools. I'd advise to load one with light braid (6lbs) and the other with 4lb fluoro straight-through.
