Your new:
Gloomis Sr842 GL3 2 PC 7' Trout Rod, should be light as a feather...
That U/L will need a 750 to 1000 size Reel at most ( I would actually try to find a 500 size)!!!
You'll be happy at the lightness and the way it feels...
Also quality is important for longevity... Shimano & Daiwa...
Lot of options with those two..... Hard to find a Daiwa that small, so stick with Shimano for 500 to 1000 size.. IMHO...
Shimano Saros
SAR1000F
Sahara
SH1000FD
The Shimano Symetre has a 500 size available * SY500FJ *
60 yrds of 6#. Should give you Plenty of 2# & 4 # line capacity.
$99 at Cabelas……
Take the rod into a tackle shop & feel the Reels on it....
I know looks dont mean anything to a REAL fisherman, but you cant help looking while you feel it on the rod.!!!
