Jigholio Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Is this the rod ? USP-JBW1600/Jig Blue Water I piece 1.80m/6'0" 15-37kg Guides 6 + Tip If so, you should be using a sizeable overhead reel. The rod is fine for 50lb braid-probably ideal. I expect you're on a budget? If so consider something like a Penn senator, 1st gen Shimano TLD or Daiwa/Penn graphite framed equivalent. They are all relatively cheap, and last well if looked after, especially the Senators. The rod should take a lifetime of abuse, they are super tough. You should really take the rod to a reputable tackle shop (site sponsors) and tell them your intentions and budget. As for the Daiwa spin reel, I would keep it, and find a suitable rod. It's the perfect 'allrounder' size reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out "Swap and Sell" - Nexus is selling a Penn Graphite 25 GLS lever drag overhead light game reel. Should suit your rod, and it's a good price. http://fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=28437 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now im wondering which size reel i should get. Im planning to get the Penn Gls senators. I have 120metres of 50lb braid, and 150metres of 30lb mono. Does anyone think Penn 25 senator would fit it the line perfect or do i need a bigger reel for the 50lb braid???
