The type of reel will depend on the species and size of fish you want to target

i usually pair mine up with a mag elite or a 7ht turbo.

well done on the choice, they are exellent rods.

Is there going to be much difference between a 7ht and a 7ht turbo to someone who is relatively new (coming back) to the sport, as the ordinary ht is about 45% cheaper. or will I regret it in the long run.

Final received this set up after a 2 month wait :shock: thankfully it was well worth the wait.

Excellent set up, now I've just got to break it in.
