adjustedpete Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just found a 2 piece 6' 5" berkley buccaneer glass spin rod at vinnies ($5). It has 5 stainless guides.I want to try plastics and lures for flatties and bream. I am an absolute novice at this game and was wondering as to what reel I would match to it and line . It has a very soft action. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie machine Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey mate, I know nothing about that rod, so maybe other raiders can help you out. But on the reel a size, 1500 to 2500 is the way to go. If you're going to use soft plastics then gsp or braid is essential (6lb rating will just about handle anything you'll catch) and match with a fluorocarbon leader (10lb).
