[QUOTE="Mattman, post: 60951, member: 23"] Personally...I don't like smaller reels...even on UL rods. The handles are too short, the spools are too small. Line memory can become a significant problem with a lot of these small UL labeled reels. And that impacts your castability. Larger spools have much less line memory and dump their line out with less resistance. A 1000 size Shimano is the smallest reel I care to use. Of the 3 reel manufacturers and models listed, I'd pick the Shimano. [/QUOTE]
