I have three of the Legalis reels. I think there is a newer version out these days. I've caught on the order of 800-1000 fish with them, including some 3-4 pound bass. The reel performed quite well. You may notice a slight flexing of the stem under heavy load. Otherwise, I've found the reel to be a great value and performer. Enjoy.

I am really looking forward to some seat time with that reel. I’m going to go with 2lb Gamma. Looks like you found a nice rod for the upcoming season.
