    Default Reel Size for BnM Sharp Shooter 6 Rod


    I have a BnM Sharp Shooter 6 rod that I have been using for dock shooting. I originally put a Pflueger size 20 reel on it, but it seems too small (tiny spool). I am thinking a Pflueger size 25 or Lews size 100 might work better. Would a size 200 be to heavy?

    I like for it to balance just in front of the reel stem. When it is balanced there the rod seems to float in the hand. I also find I can feel softer bites on a well balanced set up. I like a light weight 2500 ish sized reel with a long spool to get the most distance out of a shot.

    I'd definitely listen to Jack. He knows dock shooting for sure!
