Sage 5120 Preferred Reels & amount of backing
I'm having a new Sage 5120 built for me.
What medium sized Large Arbor reels will hold a Rio W/C and not be too heavy for the 5120?
A LA reel is a blessing in tight waters if a big trout or hot shad goes ballistic and runs back to you with 50 to 60' of line and a 15' leader.
A lot of backing is not required for the waters I will be fishing. It mainly serves a filler for the line. It would be nice to know how much backing and what strength balances the WC 5/6 to the reel.
I'm looking for a reel in the $200 range or less which will balance the weight of the 5120.
Thanks
