What is this world coming to, buying reels to match color.
That point made the sol or pixy is on my light bait list. I use the Alphas reels.

well if im going to spend 250-350 on a reel and i already have a 300$ + rod then why not have them match especially when there are reels out there that will match?

That is the best line yet, buy a reel that will perform the job, not because it's pretty. Or you could get this if money is no issue.

Aight Hood I found the one that I want its the new Daiwa Presso the black and orange one says its a ultra finesse reel now i just need to save 340$ and order it lol You can find Pressos cheaper than that...watch ebay. I should warn you though, the Presso has a very weak drag and mag braking designed to cast very light (trout) lures. If you like to cast AND PITCH and 1/8oz. is what you consider light, then the Pixy or Sol/Alphas is your reel. The Presso is a UL baitcaster for trout fishermen basically. I'm thinking the Sol would be your best bet if you don't think you'll go any lighter than 1/8oz. and you are going to fish mainly for bass. A Sol would look outstanding on that rod too...always a huge consideration for the fashion minded angler.

Agree with mhood. I love my Conquest 51's. Matched with the right rod, you cast 1/16 pretty easy. I've been using one of mine for trout here lately, casting the smaller super duper. I upgraded to Abec 7 bearings and the drag carbontex washers.

I am not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but once it is broke in the Ardent casts light lures with ease.
