I go for and have the lightest, slimmest Rods I have found.
So it's imperative I balance them with the lightest Reel I can get my hands on.
So much more fun chucking \ using a light set up around vs a heavy one.

So your saying that what a reel weighs is more important then line lay, cranking power, quality of clutch? Nah,not having that at all. The weight of the reel makes absolutely no difference in how you feel leads down, or how you play fish. None whatsoever. Writing reels off because of what they weigh is daft

One day you'll be able to give a long term review Tony.... Although that list says otherwise

Must be with that collection of reels , mind you I've had my fair share of reels over the years too , I used to be a bit of a hoarder when it came to reels , now I only have about 5 sets

No, of course I'm not saying line lay, cranking power, clutch, reliabilty etc. is not important.
I'm just saying lighter the better.
