OK Bass Hunter Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Just ordered a Cumara 7'4" jig rod and I need a reel to match with it. My price range for the reel is anywhere from $150 to $275 new or used. It is gonna be my dedicated jig rod for footballs 1/2oz on up. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Quote
cfout4050 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I just bought same rod Its a fantastic rod you will be happy. Quote
shackman Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 My personnal preference is, with a light rod like that you wanna put a Magnesium frame reel on it so it doesn't take away from the lightness of the rod...I have a Core 100 on my Cumara and love the way it balances and just how light the combo is overall..I'd go 6 oz. or less on the reel (Core 100,Core 50,2007 Metanium MG,Aldebaran mg,Chronarch 50 mg) Quote
jtesch Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 you can get a revo mgx on ebay for around 250 now or a revo premier for 200 from BPS. I have one of each on crucials and love them. The shimanos are such light rods that the Revos just seem to match up better. I've used both Curados and Chronarchs on them and like the feel of the Revos a lot more. Never used the Core but I bet it would be one sweet setup. Quote

Mike__D Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 My choice would be a Revo Premier High Speed retrieve for your new cumara jig rod. Mike D Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 I was looking at a Chronarch D7 or a Core 100. Any thoughts on those 2? Quote
