Seanook Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Last night a buddy of mine traded me a 12'6" Raven Matrix Float rod for Two boxes of DVD's I had on Kijiji and about $70 bucks (my general estimate) worth of copper and aluminum. Looked online and figured I was getting a good deal. Not quite as long as I wanted but I ain't complaining. Rod had no reel. Anyone ever used this rod and have any idea which reel balances well on it. Gonna try and pick up a relatively cheap used one and wanna know what to look for.

fishfight Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 The Okuma Aventa 1000 model only has bushing, not bearings, Peters tackle at St catherines sells them for $100 as well, will work at NIagara and port D, but not on other slow moving current on smaller creeks. Grab the Rapala pin instead for $120+ tax at Sail. it spins quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
