This depends on what your going to us the rod for. I got it for bottom fishing. I matched to a Penn 500 Jig master. It will accept either a 3.0 or 4.0 reel. The big limitation is the size of line you rig it with. Keep in mind the limitation of the pole. It's excellent for bottom fishing, but is suitable for other applications.

I just saw the reel and I think the bigger spool should be great. You wouldn't regret it

The reel size depends on how you want to fish. Big fishes need bigger reel butthe reel isnt too big if its a spinning reel. So its not too heavy. If you ate using a conventional reel then size makws a difference in weight and size. Smaller reel have weaker drag fir smaller fish. Bigger size reel had stronger resistance and hold moreline. I just bought a medium size reel using 30lb and fush would drag alll my line and I would have to sacrifice a hook in order not to losea spool of line. Big fishes need bigger reel so it can fit more bigger line. Smaller fish in lakes and river wouldnt need those. I would go for a bigger reel if I had to buy again. Its not so much bigger if its a spinning reel.

Well to be honest with you I fished in Daytona Beach over the summer I used 60 lb trilene big game for all of my line I didn't use any power pro my reel was a Penn senator 6/0 and it worked just fine I would use at least 100 to 150 yds of that for backing would be my guess just really enough to cover the spool over once or twice

Look up your answer on-line... Each reel has a box, each with line suggestions for all models.

looks like the 3 pack shows covers for the 4000 3000 and 2000 reels you need to specify which one you want the large one fits the 4000 real fine

You sound like you're new at this. Fishing is like life. How serious are you? Compared to monofilament line; fluoro is stiff and has a lot of memory, along with its invisibility. I wouldn't try to throw the best 12# size fluoro on a normal sized 40 spinning reel. Instead, stick with a good softer mono, like Berkley Trilene XL 12#, and use a fluoro leader.

I own 2 Shimano symetres and live in Tampa FL. All I do is inshore fish (light tackle) and they are great reels. I own stradics and quantum bocas and penn reels and I would put the symetre up against any of those even though they are cheaper. The 3000 is the best for light tackle. I use 8 pound braided line and have landed snook and redfish up to 15 pounds on that 3000 symetre. Hope this helps.

I have several of these reels and use them for most of my fishing needs...I would use either the 8 or 10 pound reel...Not much difference on the reel-They are a tough breed.....Good fishing..

I realize that this question was asked a long time ago. But, here's my answer: Some people might consider the Trio 20 to be ultra-light because it is designed to hold 4, 6 & 8 lb line. But to me, it's more of a light to medium-light reel...good for crappie, trout, smaller bass, smaller cats, etc. In my opinion, the Trio 20 is not a true ultra light reel. But it's close.

I talked to the folks who make Fishmate - they recommended the 4000, which we purchased. Its 4200gph. I wish that I had gotten the 5000.

The 6930 x is slightly larger. Really their is a very minor difference. Both are terrific reels. I have the 6930x. Hope this helps. Craig

Get a light, freshwater reel. The Shimano FX Spinning Reel looks like a good affordable option, but I can't say from personal experience. Shimano FX1000FB Spinning Reel - 8 lb./240 yds

it depends on your reel model and line rating you want to use. Info is readily available on Pflueger website or Amazon.

I use 6 Lb test for trout and bass. Seems to work well, have had no issues with knotting or tangling. Love the reel very smooth and fast.

I myself prefer the Okuma ABF 90 spinning reel for salt water. They are well built to last and not too expensive, they go for about $60 on Amazon. I also prefer the Power Pro Microfilament Line for that reel.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

How much line it will hold. Different spools, different uses. Sorry, don't remember which I chose for freshwater...I do love the reel though. I use a my. if bait cast and spinning reels...all are Shimano and I won't buy anything else!
