For this guide: I tested 15 reels (and 21 rods for the companion guide to this one) in the respective places for which they were designed, using them on beaches, rocks, boats, and riverbanks spanning from tiny Catskill-mountain streams to New York Citys East River, and from New Zealand river mouths to Caribbean grass flats

A lot of the crank baits which are basically short fat plugs would not be well suited to fishing for sea bass in the UK

On that note, we did feel that the two lightest weights (1/32oz and 1/16oz) were pushing the limits of this rod, and you could probably optimize casting distance if you dropped down to an ultra-light action

In the spring, you can get away with a twitch of every second or two, but not in the winter
