Similar to the line rating, don't you also want to make sure the drag rating for the reel is capable of loading up the rod? If the reel can only handle 5kgs of drag and you're putting it on a 20kg rod, then you won't be using the rod to it's full potential. If the drag rating for the reel is above the maximum load for the rod you will risk damaging the rod or breaking the line if you over tighten the drag. I only mention this because a larger reel, like a 6000 compared to a 3000, doesn't automatically have higher drag if they are different models.
Hi mate, depends on the rod rating. A 5500 reel is cool for 20 - 30lb braid (40 at a push) and if the rod is rated to say medium being 4 -7 or 5-8kg then sounds like a match made in heaven but if the rod is a heavy blank at 10-15kg plus then probably best to put the heavier braid on o the reef.

Thank you 🙏 Brother - great information.
I have a 9ft medium heavy rod but no reel. What size reel should I get? The brand is ugly stick elite.
Exactly 💯

I bought a penn battle 3 8000dx
Any cheap ugly sticks you would recommend?
Hi mate, try the Ugly Stick Gold or Bigwater range in 1 or 2 piece. Great rods for the price too.👍
Saying it won't work is ridiculous, is is optimal? No, but it will work, shit a spin reel will work on a baitcast rod in a pinch 😂
if you say so....
