Lately have been partial to the Shimano Stradic FI's have 2 4000's for fishing small rubber, they do well. Can't go wring with a Cabo or the Satigas. Stay far away from new Penn Spinning.

Now let me ask you. You just wrapped yourself a nice rod......you didn't have the reel picked out before hand? Without the reel how did you locate the gather guide and the size of that guide?

I don't consider myself an expert rod builder but spinning rod wise, without giving a test cast with guides taped on and the reel you want to use to find a good size, height and distant for the "last" guide could make or break the deal.
