Hi Longcaster,
An Educated Guess. Educated is what counts or should I say experience.
Again there is no answer to this thread, it is all down to what the end user prefers. Who is right, or who is wrong? I dont think it really matters.
An earlier posting from Pixybasher states that he prefers a Daiwa Rod coupled with a Daiwa reel and that he is 100% happy with it, I have a Gemini Uptide rod coupled with a Abu 7000 C3 and I am more than happy with my set up. I even use it for light beachcasting, and it is fantastic, i.e. in my opinion.
I always say buy the best that you can afford, but don't buy rubbish. Save your money for a few weeks longer and buy something decent that will last and that you can be proud of.
Cheers
Drew
