Re: Trout and Panfish series rod / reel combo

Great info Gary and MT. Really appreciate your replies. I'll grab another 2000 reel and pair with that Dobyns STP741SF. This is going to be fun.

Vintage Shimano casting rod

I recently picked up a Shimano Chronarch 100a casting reel in really good condition. It's not the SF version but it still really has great casting distance and is super smooth. I like the reel.

Expride/Sustain v Zodias/Stradic v Expride/Stradic

Hi Everyone, Upping my gear quality soon. I'm considering: Expride 7' Med paired with Sustain 2500, or Zodias 7' Med paired with Stradic Ci4+ 2500 or Expride 7' Med paired with Stradic Ci4+ 2500 I'm leading towards the 3rd one above since I hear Expride is good sensitive rod, and I don't think I wil...
