baitcasting reel for medium heavy rod Kilitn Fishing and Combo, Combo Baitcast Reel, 6 Foot 7 Foot 2-Piece, Durable Fiberglass Wrapped Carbon Fiber Rod with Comfortable EVA Handle (Left-Hand Reel Simply put Shop Discount Zebco Roam 6

In all honesty, I have a large amount of tackle and baits

Most of the reviews i read mentioned the drag as being very smooth and strong which handled big fish quite well

Fly fishing reels are mounted below the rod with the basic design of line storage

What kind doesnt matter much as long as it has a flat side on the bottom

6.6:1 or 7.3:1 Gear Ratio

With the extreme bouyancy of the balsa body, even if it momentarily got caught in the fork of a tree branch, using a slight popping motion with your rod tip, the lure would back itself out and float to safety...that is, if a monster bass hadn't grabbed it as it backed away from the cover, which happened frequently enough that you anxiously gripped your rod for a couple of seconds as the lure came free
