TurtleFace Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I've got the option of getting a good deal on one of those options. I want to match it with my med action st. Croix to use as my bass rod. I'm mostly seeing people say to get the 30, but I kind of want the extra line capacity of the 35. I'm pretty sure the 40 is overkill though. Thoughts?

grampy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 With the medium action St. Croix, you will have a fine bass set up with the 35. Assuming it's a 6'6" or 7' rod. Wishing you tight lines with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 depends on what size line your looking to use. But I agree with Grampy on the 35. If your bass fishing shouldnt have to worry about line capacity too much , they wont take a bunch of drag so shouldnt make a difference. Would be guessing your using 8/10/12 lb for largemouth? If your gonna fish open water smallies could go with 6 or 8 lb and either of those reels would work. Id go with the 35, prob a little more beef to it for yankin em out of the weeds too! good luck - cant wait for open water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurtleFace Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yep, 6'6. I'd be using 8 or 10lb and usually from the bank so the main reason for wanting extra line is for when I get a snag and have to break off a rock or tangle up in a tree.

RobC Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I just bought one sat. I went with the 35. I'll be using it for bass fishing this summer but first it's going on my 10ft st. Croix for steelhead fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I also went with the xt model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
