Reel to match Pfluger Patriarch XTR 1-3kg
G'day guys, snapped up the Patriarch XTR 6'10 1-3kg on special as as my new HB / surface rod. Looking for a reel to match. probably somewhere in that daiwa 2000 size shimano 2500 size range, ideas so far were certate 2004, stradic ci4+ etc. Looking for balance but also the lower gear ratio for working the hbs. So Sustain etc is out.
Anyone input appreciated cheers Witha |

Maybe a Rarenium Ci4 fb or older model. 5.1 gear ratio. I find a higher ratio doesn't bother me on my Stradics and Sustain as I just wind a little slower with regular pauses .The Patriarch is a nice rod and will suit HB fishing well . All the best.

What about a Daiwa Luvias in 2004 size? They're a great reel for the money, especially if you buy from oseas.

This one has quickly climbed to the top of my list i think. Digi or Plat any other options? I'll chuck one on the rod and see how she balances. Thanks mate |

I have the same rod matched to a Freams 2000.
Balances up really well and has a 4:8 ratio. Quite a light combo for the price and I'm happy to cast all day with it. |

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of on-line purchasing, but I will never use an Aussie retailer for the purpose of making a selection and then buy on-line. For a reel, what sort of saving are you talking about? Develop a relationship with the guy in your local tackle shop (I'm talking genuine locally owned stores, not the BeeCeeFs of the world) and you won't need to be asking these questions on a forum (and I mean no disrespect cause the forum is great!) Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to make a little statement of support for the little guys out there with passion and mortgages. |

My local has the Luvi at $500 making the gap a bit bigger than a hundred bucks even if he gives me a little discount...

I say you match it up with a Pflueger Patriarch 9530, after all they were designed to match the rods! Awesome lightweight combo, I run 3 or 4 of these and love them.

I'd go for the Luvias. Great reels; smooth, light, magsealed.

Wow yeah that's a big gap man considering they're 260/70.

Anything in the Shimano 1000 size stable. I have the same rod matched to a FJ Stradic and it goes extremely well.

Mate how much do you want to spend?? Helps to narrow it down a bit, theres a hell of a lot of reels out there to choose from.
