Here’s a 4000 size Certate LT on a NRX 901 for reference.

4000 size Daiwa's in the LT sizing is perfect. The larger spool also reduces line twist.
I'll look into it. I don't own a Daiwa reel but definitely interested. Thank you.

Re: 4000 Spinning Reels for 7'6" L Rods

I used to use Daiwa's size 3000 (54mm diameter spool) on my ML, M, MH Legend Extreme St. Croix rods, because I thought the bigger spool gives me the edge on distance (it always was speculation about it), which I never actually properly tested. Since I replaced those rods to same rods, I had to down...

Re: 4000 Spinning Reels for 7'6" L Rods

I use a 2500 stella on my 901nrx and it balances pretty well, not perfect but pretty good, I also have a certate 3000 on a MB Flyssa and the balance is the same as my NRX combo. I sell a lot of fly rods where I work and none of them are balanced if that helps your decision :big grin: I have a coupl...

Re: 4000 Spinning Reels for 7'6" L Rods

I have a Loomis IMX-PRO 901SJR(7'6" L/F) spinning Rod on the way. I've read and seen on video that some anglers are using 4000 size spinning reels on their 7'6" L/ML spinning rods for hair jigs, Ned's and small swimbaits. Some claim they get more distance with the larger spool and less line twist. ...

Re: 4000 Spinning Reels for 7'6" L Rods

The gain in casting distance aside (probably would only be marginal), I think a heavier reel would help to balance the outfit a bit better esp. one intended for rod tip-up techniques. My thinking on both matters as well. I have a Sustain FB that weighs in at 10.1 oz. that will give me a better idea...

4000 by Daiwa or Shimano? My Daiwa 3000 has bigger spool in diameter than 4000 Stella.
It can be either a 4000 Shimano or 3000 Daiwa.

Re: Ned Rod

Just ordered the IMX-Pro 901SJR. Should be a couple of weeks. Thinking of 4000 reel for it. I was using a Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth 7'4" M/F but it was a tad heavy for throwing 1/16oz.

Re: 7'6" Spinning Rods

I have a 901 and two 7'6 MML AGS rods. I agree with Gary that the 901 is a specialized stick and the Steez is more of an all arounder. Here are my thoughts on the two rods: Tip The tip is really light on the 901, but fast and very similar to a 820 DSR GLX that I have. It's whippy, but has a really ...

Re: 7'6" Spinning Rods

I'm with Bronzefly on this one. I would save a little and the get 7'6" AGS. I have several of the Steez AGS rods and the are awesome. I figured it would cost me between $800-900 Cdn. all said and done. The exchange, duty, G.S.T., etc. I have other high end spinning rods that cover the upper lure we...

Much appreciate all the feedback everyone. I'm still leaning towards the Imx-pro.

Love my NRX 901 but also take a look at the Megabass Flyssa.
Thanks. The Flyssa is one of the rods I'm considering. Do you prefer the NRX or the Flyssa?
