No drama about the other post Tom. <br><br>I would like to start by asking you how you find that Oz Alvery side caster reel you have. One of our regulars here "Real Sea Sick" bought a graphite 6500 not so long ago and has been having a ball with it. <br><br>As for your travel rod, are you planning to spin/cast mostly from land with that as well. <br><br>If so, then the choice between reel types (IMHO) come down to species being targeted first, and then personal preference second. Why? Well if was chasing bluefish then I would want a reel that could crank line in fast if needed e.g. using a jig. <br><br>So give that some more thugh if needed and then let us know which way your leaning. <br><br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
