Reels getting old and used up. Would like to replace it with a bait caster. Any ideas of one that would go good with this rod?

That’s a spinning rod, no baitcaster is going to go well with it. If you want a baitcaster get a new rod.

You’ll need a different rod. Spinning rods and casting rods are basically flipped versions of one another. The backbone is flipped. Basically they are really supposed bend one way, if you put a baitcaster on the rod, a decent sized fish or boat flipping will snap the rod before too long.

Just get a cheap premade combo , first bait caster can be frustrating

Yes, I wouldnt recommend using a baitcaster on that rod. Could you? I guess, probably have a lot of backlashes due to the eyes being so large and wouldnt cast anywhere near as accurate. I also believe the backbone when it comes to hook setting is different between spinning and casting but that could just be garbage not really sure. Performance wise you’d 100% want a casting rod

That’s not how any of this works. You can’t just swap out a spinning reel for a casting reel on a spinning rod

As others have said, that’s a spinning rod, not a bait caster rod, so it’ll be a bit off if you use a bait caster reel.
I would suggest at least 200m more line on that spool my guy.
You’re cutting your cast a lot shorter by having so little line on there.

That spool is insanely low on line, I know it’s not what you asked, but you might like spinning reels more if they were functioning properly, lol.

All depends on your budget. If you give a number you will get a ton of good suggestions for either a spinning or baitcaster setup.
