Blackfish setup question

[Bigdaddyhockey]

Thank you. Yeah, no real sporty days. More for me than the kids lol. They are in late teens now but still on my payroll. Do you think 3500 is right size with 7ft rod?

I have a shimano 4k with a 7’ rod. Daiwa sizes are bigger, so that sounds right. Go handle some different sizes and take the kids to see what they are comfortable with. Smaller reels have smaller gears and they could wear out quicker but that’s not a short term problem. No sense spending too much until you know it’s something you want to keep pursuing.
