Thank you for the question! When selecting a reel to pair with a 6′2″ casting rod like your Carbon Jigging Casting Rod, here are a few guidelines to help you match a reel correctly:
Reel size / gear ratio: For a casting rod in the 6′2″ length, a medium-size baitcasting or spinning reel is often a good match. You don’t need an oversized reel — a mid-size reel will balance weight and casting/handling well.
Target species and lure weight: Choose a reel whose line capacity and drag are suited to the fish or lures you intend to use (e.g., lighter line for smaller fish/lures, heavier line for big fish or heavy lures).
Comfort and balance: When attached, the rod + reel should feel balanced — not too heavy at the tip or butt. A reel that’s neither too light nor too bulky helps the combo cast smoothly and maintain control.
