Title: Yamaga blue sniper 70/4: which reel?
Post by: Eric Tai on March 24, 2011, 09:59:12 PM

Just bought one of these. Wondering what reel others maybe using. Which stella suits best? 5000sw seems slightly small, 10000sw seems too big.

I've got the Yamaga Blue Sniper 75/4 - I previously have put an old model Twinpower 8000 HG on it but I prefer now to match it to my Certate 3500HD.
Hyper Certate 4000 would be spot on.

Enjoy it!

I am very impressed with my 70/4 which is mated to a certate Hyper 4000 - it all balances very well

I have fished the 70/4 & 75/4 with both a TP5000 and a Hyper 4000. Both reels matched perfectly. They are truly very nice light casting rods. The 10K SW or Z4500 feels way too big and over balanced for that rod.

stella 5000sw should match nicely, if not...perhaps a 6000sw twinpower?

Thanks guys. Was leaning towards a JDM sw6000-HG, but my local tackle shop currently has stellas on special, so I picked up a 5000sw for a good price. (must resist buying more!) ;)
