I've been fishing a Spheros 8000 on a Tica 8ft all season 3 times a week.Absolutely the finest reel you can buy in its price range.I'll never ever fish a Penn SS reel again,they're junk compared to the Shimanos.The Slammers are nice but I think the Spheros is better plus its about $30 less in price.

The 704 is not a light reel and wouldn't be a good choice to stick it on a Tica rod.That would be an extremely unbalanced setup.

I like to fish light and my setup is absolutely perfect for the type of fishing I like to do.I've taken several "smaller" keepers with the biggest being a 38" 24lber.The reel performed wonderfully as did the rod.
