Hi All,

I’m pretty new to fishing and bought this Fenwick Eagle 5-foot rod!

I’ve always been a fan of just smaller things so I of course got the shortest rod.

I’ll probably just be fishing in smaller lakes and streams.

I do want to maximize casting distance though – so maybe a 2500 reel with heavier line? My budget is around $75. So maybe the president?

To catch bass or just really anything I have no preference.

Basically, what line and reel will make this rod as dynamic as possible? How can I catch even decently large sized fish on this from a decent distance?

Thank you so much in advance!

  1. I have one of these (Same rod, but 5’6″) with a 1000-size Okuma reel, YMMV. It’s probably my favorite setup at the moment.
