Don't do it. As a lot of the guys stated, the difference between the 200 and 250 in the spool diameter. Why not go for the 250 and more line capacity?

I would personally go with the 250. But a better idea would be to bring both rods with you to test fit the reel for balance. I 've had every size but the 200 and found the 250 to be my go to size. The 300 is too big and slow, the 150 is too small. These are just my opinions. This year I am going to be fishing a 275. I really like the idea of a higher gear ratio.

Anyone ever been spooled by a striper using a 200 or 250?
Anyone ever been down to the threads with one or the other?

In the end it's up to you which one you like better if your ever going to use it on a 9' rod the 200 is the way to go becuase it can be swapt out from 9' to 10' rods,strictly 10' then the 250 may balance out better depends where you have your reel seat on the but.also the 200 holds more line then you'll ever need.so don't worry about that.the choice is yours just don't look at the 150.
