Any one of these five reels is a worthy addition to your rod locker

It helps to make really long casts but to position the boat where your bait is in the shade zone longer

Christie especially likes an XCS 100 Series crankbait for covering water when its too windy to effectively flip or fish a frog

I'll reserve my final judgement of the aesthetics though until I get to spend as much time with it as I did with its silver/golden ancestor 17 years ago

Its not truly a finesse spinning rod, but could handle light baits with plenty of backbone to extract hard-pulling bass from gnarly cover
