Fishing Equipment
Pairing up Rods & Reels
4/21/12 @ 7:54 PM
Is there any real downside to putting a smaller reel on a rod with a bit of a heavier action?
I have 2 cheapo Rhino spincast combos that I keep at the cabin for bobber fishing, and the reels are tremendous pieces of crap. I've been researching inexpensive reels to put on them, and I've drawn the conclusion that I want to get 2 Shakespeare Synergy Titanium Spincast Reels to throw on the rods. Will there be a problem with doing this? Any other inexpensive recommendations?

I'm just looking for an inexpensive push button reel that doesn't suck. These aren't for active fishing, just hanging a crawler or a minnow under a bobber from our pier to get an extra line in the water. I've seen some cheap Zebcos that have gotten pretty good reviews. Regardless, my eye is on the $15 Shakespeare I linked.
