Landed my PB; Beautiful buck rainbow. Released healthy. Rocky, weedy, snaggy creek and 6lb test made for a hell of a rodeo… Not sure what he weighed but the measurement from the crease of my curled hand to the top of my tattoo is 12”. Northern Ca.
limited_vocabulary on April 24, 2025 3:45 pm IMO you can get a better reel from Daiwa, or shimano if that’s your speed, for the same money
Relyt4 on April 24, 2025 3:54 pm I have that exact rod paired with a Fuego, one of my favorite setups
pizzaboy117 on April 24, 2025 3:55 pm I would go with a 2500 size Nasci or Exceller LT. Better reel for less money. Spend the difference on some quality braid.
GlowUpAndThrowUp on April 24, 2025 3:56 pm I’d go with a Shimano Miravel 2500 for that money. You could save a few bucks and do a Nasci 2500 as well. For the rod, I’d recommend going with a ML for finesse.

Id probably go medium light
I would recommend sticking to 2500 sizes if possible.
