I have three casting rods and 2 reels and would like some guidance as to which reel matches best with which rod and what the 'primary' purpose would be best suited for those setups. I will be purchasing a $100-$125 baitcaster for the remaining rod. About me, I live in NE Georgia and fish large reservoirs (Lake Hartwell, Lanier) for the most part and to be honest, I never catch anything. I have a runabout that I fish from with a HELIX 5 installed. I have just found it difficult coming from northern Illinois and Minnesota where the lakes have weeds and underbrush. So much easier than rocky bottom lakes they have here.
That said, here is the equipment I am trying to match up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
REELS:
Abu Garcia Revo STX - 6.4:1
Daiwa Tatula SV TW - 8.1
RODS:
Googan Squad Muscle - 7ft5in Heavy Power, Extra Fast Action
St Croix Mojo Bass (Jig-N-Worm) - 6ft6in Med-Heavy Power, Fast Action
St Croix Avid - 6ft6in Med-Heavy Power, Moderate Action
**I do have two other baitcasters and another rod that are probably not worth mentioning just because they are very low end.
KastKing Brutus 7.2:1
Piscifun 7.6:1
Ugly Stick GX2 6ft6in Medium Action
