    Looking to add a couple of ounces to a reel to help in balancing a rod. Read previously about adding lead to the spool before adding the backing. Is this the simplest way? Any advice welcome. Cheers Diarmid.

    A couple of questions. How are these reels as a spare/backup? And which one would you use for the 13' 8/9 rod, the 8/9 or the 10/11? I like around 200 yards of 30 pound backing, a running line and shooting head. Thanks for any comments, Leo.
