Alright I got a couple of rods last week and gonna go get a couple reels for them this week. I'm trying to decide what reel speeds to get for them. They are 7' MH and am thinking about adding a couple high speed reels to them. I primarily worm fish and thaught these would suit me best. I'll let y'all k ow what I all ready have at home and see if y'all can give me some helpful imput.
7'3" H - 7:1
7' Mh - 7:1
7' Mh - 7:1
6'10" H - 7:1
6'6" Mh - 6:3 x3 of these
6'6" M - 6:3
also a couple spincast setups
so what do I need to add to these 2 rods?

Recently made the switch from all Shimano Curados and Cores to Abu Garcia STX's and Premiers and couldn't be happier. I was a hater but now a believer. The braking system on the Revos are not as good but they make up for it with their drag power and casting distance.

Looks to me like you got High Speed Covered. Now what you need is a couple of Revo WINCH's I have one dedicated to Crankbaits and one dedicated to Spinner baits....LOVE EM!!!
