I'm no fly fishing expert so I'll let someone else answer that with more detail. I encountered the same dilemma with my 5wt and I went with the 5/6 so I could have more capacity for line. Panfish and small bass probably won't pull a ton of line out and the reel might be more along the lines of a "line holder" but if you think there is a chance of hooking into some bigger fish with it I'd look at the 5/6.

I did go with Cedros 40 and it fits perfectly. The smaller reel has so much drag power that you can easily handle big fish with braid.

I use the 7M, which is the convertable spin/fly rod. Five piece rod and carrying case. Reversible butt section.

After owning this reel for onr year now, I got hink it would be a very suitable reel for.that rod. And.the drag system is excelent. Espciaally when dealing with salmon or trout.

Since 65lb braid is equivalent to 17lb mono, I would choose a reel that would be stout enough to hold a sufficient amount of 17-20 lb line and has a good drag response. The Opus would probably do well for occasional fishing. I use mine with a 7' cast rod and a 12' surf and it does fine. Handles reds well. I set a loose drag and tighten down to tire a larger fish before dragging it on shore.

I recommend the 3/4 line weight Cahill Crystal River reel....they are about 10$ here on Amazon. GREAT, light, reel

I think 12# is a bit large for a spinning reel maybe 10#. But if you want to try it size 4000 would be good. Buy the way they are a great reel. Hope this helps. Craig

If it's going to be used as a regular fishing rod, you can select any spinning reel, like Abu Garcia. If you also want to set it up as a fly fishing rod, (which is the cool thing about this), you would want to buy a Fly reel, already loaded with line.

I would not by this set . The reel is of very poor quality. It does not take medium duty line and it tangles. You would be spending time trying to undo the tangles instead of fishing.

No it wont. You need to find a "Spinning rod" for this reel. I think they make an Ugly stick spinning rod though.

A spincast reel uses the same type of rod that a baitcasting reel uses. A 6ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stik casting rod is a common rod. I purchased mine from Wal-Mart. If you can't find one there then try Shakespeare's website (they sell Shakespeare products online).

I think there are 3. Sizes if the Reel. The smallest model should be the right one for fishing crappies. .

I myself prefer the Okuma ABF 90 spinning reel for salt water. They are well built to last and not too expensive, they go for about $60 on Amazon. I also prefer the Power Pro Microfilament Line for that reel.

As small as you'd like. It mostly depends on how light your rod is. However a super light rod with this heavier reel might be a bit unbalanced. However, I use this reel with 6lb. Line with a medium light rod an have caught 6 pound fish with no problems.
