Hey all


Sometime in the future, I will be purchasing BPS microlite rod and a Tica cetus as my ultralight. I will be spooling with 2lb fireline. I was wondering if that reel, with 4lb test fireline, would be okay on a ML St Croix Triumph or if it would be too light, small, etc.

Thanks for your help

[#000000][size 4]what you need to do is match the specifications for the reel and the specifications for the rod.

So would there be any problems with a medium light St Croix? Would this reel fit, or would I have to get another one for the ml rod.

sorry if you already answered this and I didnt get it

If you click on the chart above, there is the list of rods by your manufacture and the class they are. "meaning what the rod is rated for"

The reel you sugested is rated from 2 - 6 pounds "amount of line lessens as you use bigger lines.

What I sugested was a single rod that matched your needs, meaning you want to use 2 pound test line and you want to use 4 pound test line.

If you look at the chart it tell you if the rods are one peice or two peice.

click on the chart and look at what is available for that manufacture....

you may have to order it if your store dosnt cary the spicific rod that meets your needs.

I hope this helps to clarify it a little better. I am sure if you click on the chart you will get a better understanding of what I am saying, the info is in the chart.
