well, it comes down to weight of the reel and i'm trying to stay low as
possible... and still have spool capacity high.

I'd rather "personally" make the goof rather than have more reel than i need for a particular rod.
i want good balance ----- i know that feel.

109 in cabelas too

was checkin.... it jumps eight ounces from the 8000 to the 12000

I own several Spheros. All cast exceptionally well/far distance. My only complaint is once infiltrated by saltwater, it's only a matter of time before fatal bearing corrosion sets in. Mike T at M&D's helped me out 2 years ago with my 6000 but it is probably a goner for this season.

1. 4000 on a 6' Tica - my schoolie set up but has taken some decent high teens fish.

2. 5000 on a 6'Tica - a little more power and drag, same use as above.

3. 6000 on a 7' Tica - This is my primary boat rod when vertical jigging or casting. I sometimes use this same reel on my lighter 9' Tica for casting topwater. Has handled fish into the low thirtys.

4. 8000 on a 9' Custom - Great plugging setup.

5. 12000 on a 8' Penn Slammer - Great boat trolling set up.

Hope this info helps.
