BassFishermanTyler Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Hello everyone, looking for reel suggestions for the 7 ft 6 in medium zodias spinning rod. Tried searching through many different threads but didnt find much for this model. As its a bit longer than my other two 7 ft rods I want some ideas. Curious if others use this rod and already have a reel that worjs well on it. Worried about reel weight and balance probably more than I should be. Not sure if a 2500 or 3000 size would be better. Been looking at Shimano and Daiwa reels both US versions and straight from Japan but open to ideas. Still looks like I can get some good reels for cheaper from Japan. I assume I will get a few voted for a vanford but want to take a look at all of my options. Appreciate any feedback you can offer! Quote
