which model reel is this, the GT or 309m?

It looks like a 330 GT. The 309 has shiny, hard plastic end plates and doesn't have the colored model number placard on the cross-bar. The model is simply stamped on the end plate...hope this helps.

No. It's the rod only. I did equip it with a Penn 309 and its a great set up for fishing around rigs offshore.

The 1000 is the smallest reel. The 4000 is the largest. The 2500 is a medium sized reel. The spool sizes vary according to the reel size and thus the smaller reel holds less line than the larger ones. One advantage of the larger spool is less line kinking. Larger spools have more mechanical advantage on larger fish. I own two. The 1000 and the 2500. I have five shimano reels. I prefer the rear drag simply because it is a more ergonomic design than front drag. The bail release lets you make more casts by reducing the number of movements one makes per cast. I have owned these reels for years and have never had a mechanical failure - even in the cheaper models. Hand size plays a part in selecting a reel. The 2500 is a good fit for the average male. The average female hand would find it a bit oversized but not cumbersome. They are beautifully designed and well made. For crappie and pan fish, stream fishing with ultralight to light tackle the 1000 is outstanding. For larger fish (bass, stripe) the 2500 is my go to reel. For heavy duty trolling and large tackle the 4000 is a good choice. All the reels are similar in appearence just proportioned differently.

Hi, the Okuma SLV 8/9. Great Reel. You can buy it here: Okuma Slv Fly Reel 4/5 Weight or here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xreel+slv+9&_nkw=reel+slv+9&_sacat=0&_from=R40regards

This great reel comes in three sizes. From the smallest 1000 to 2500 to the largest a 4000. The Quick Fire II trigger system is great for one-handed casts. It has a Lightweight graphite frame, sideplate and rotor and other great features. I really like the smooth smooth action and rear drag. I am not an expert, but I would check out the small 1000 at a dealer so you can make your own decision. I have the 2500 and 4000 reels and love them.

The reel is for 7-9 wt line. I don't know specifically how much it weighs, but final weight will depend a lot on the line and backing you use. I do know that with an 150 ft of dacron backing and a sink-tip line, it is light enough to move the balance point of the rod forward somewhat compared to my son's metal reel.

Strongly recommend you go to the Gurman site or call Garman by telephone. I bought the GT M 60 and it would not work for my Garman and I ended up getting the 36 which is what they told me on the telephone I needed. The GT M 60 is only for certain newer models of garmen

I have a WORX GT155. In the Amazon catalog, there is shown a GT156, and right next to it , under Frequently Bought Together, are the same size six reels of spool replacements. Hope this helps.

not this one. there is the other version with a level wind. Otherwise, it is a good reel. Fast, smooth retrieve and a quality drag system.

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!

I would not trust a rod for a reel this heavy that was more than 2 pieces. Ebay had a couple of rods for around $80 last time I looked. Stay with graphite instead of fiberglass.

Reel in a box. That's it. Makes me think it maybe grey market. If you order it from Daiwa. It comes with paper works and spare spool.

The Mitchell Pro series have models 300, the smaller 308 and the smallest 310. Except for the size, they are so similar, the same image is used for all three. Each one's description is the one being sold. FYI, the green trim is found here in The US. European Mitchell Pro Series reels have red trim. Other than that, there are no other differences. See http://fishmitchell.com/mitchell_300_pro/ for all three specs!
