oomph Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hello, Does anyone have a good suggestions on a good rod to match up with a Ci4+ 3000 that balances well? The reel is so light that I find it a little tip heavy on the rod it's currently on. ( Abdu Garcia Villain) Looking for M at MH rods thx Quote
cottny27 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 That means the rod isn't balanced. Reel weight don't effect balance unless you are holding the rod completely in front of the reel. A balanced rod balances with any reel if you are palming it. Quote
Evan K Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Are you talking about a spinning reel or casting? The 3000 part makes me think spinning. I just paired a CI4+ 2500 size spinning reel with a Powell Max 3D ML rod and they balance beautifully. Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I have a CI4+ 3000 size reel on a 6'10" ML spinning rod and the balance is great. Sorry, I have no info on a M or MH rod. I have found that light spinning reels can make a rod feel tip heavy, especially on longer rods. Can you take your reel to the store and put it on different rods to find one that balances well? Quote
oomph Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Yes, I have a Ci4 3000 Spinning Reel, the rod currently I have it on is a 7ft M Quote
smallie.mike Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 This is the reason why I never cared for the ci4 spinning reels. Light is not always a good thing in a spinning reel. Quote
