Spinning reel for fluke

Sometimes a lighter reel allows the rod to want to tip forward , which causes fatigue quick .

I personally try and match the reel so it is perfectly balanced and floats in your hand .

It’s weird because sometimes a heavier reel actually feels lighter on the rod due to balance

I have a Penn clash 4000 on my BH701 it’s 10.6.
But even the rod build can change what will float best

Fair point but the reel I have feels overbuilt for fluke.

How do you like that BH rod? Pretty awesome isn’t?
