[QUOTE="richg99, post: 391432, member: 4376"] I don't know the official size, but it is a tiny reel matched to the ultra light rod. I am too lazy to go to the van and see if a "size" is on the reel. As I said before....NOTHING changed but the line. I've used this rig for the last two years. It's caught everything from three-inch long bluegills to a 6 or 7 lb catfish. Since I was in my kayak at the time, the catfish gave me a freshwater sleigh ride. Problem solved with the candle wax. Took the rig out for the third time yesterday and had NO knots. As far as bites and leaders ....I just started adding a fluorocarbon leader. I used to tie the braid directly to my lures, or to the hooks. I do think that my hit ratio went up with the addition of the fluorocarbon. regards, richg99 [/QUOTE]
