The rod it would be going on is a Favorite Summit 6'8". It weighs 2.9oz. From my findings it's the lightest non-custom rod available. I already own a Tatula SV and I completely agree! I love it. Just looking for something a little different for this setup.

I would agree that most of my setups are general purpose to heavier. The reason for this being, I've never had the opportunity to purchase multiple setups until recently, so I have never purchased a rod or reel for a specific purpose. As I was slowly able to buy nicer/more expensive setups, I always bought what I was used to as a safe bet. I am slowly branching out to various techniques and presentations, but still seem to always come back to a Texas rigged plastic. I was considering the Aldebaran being that it is 4.7oz and the rod I purchased is 2.9oz, making the entire combo approximately the weight of a standard BC reel. Being that I fish a lot of slower presentations, (neds, trigs, small plastics swimbaits, etc), I wanted this "premium" setup to excel at my normal style. (Partially to justify the purchase ?)

Do you have experience with the aldebaran or metanium? If so what do you like or dislike about them? Do you have experience with the Ti? If so, would you say this is a positive or negative feeling compared to the other models? I apologize for the questions, just trying to make an informed decision.

Any chance you've fished either? I own a BPS carbonlite 2.0 and I JUST sold a Pro Qualifier 2. I'm pretty sure Lews and Bass Pro use the exact same frame (everything is identical.) I loved both of the bass pro reels, so I'm sure I would like the Lews. But do I go with what I have or get something I'm not sure I'd like? I'm looking at a Ti for $280 and a lightly use Aldebaran for $270.

Hey guys, new to the group. I joined specifically to get input on a reel decision. I recently purchased a 6'8" MH Favorite Summit for a fantastic price and want to pair it with a decent reel. I've narrowed it down to a Lew's Pro Ti, Shimano 18 Aldebaran 30 MGL and a 13 Fishing Concept C. I will be using it mostly for small-med jigs, small swimbaits, T-rigs, ned rigs, etc around medium-medium heavy cover in small natural lakes. My current arsenal consists of: - 6'6" MH Shimano Convergence w/ Shimano Curado 201 Bantam Reel (6.2:1) - 7' MH Lews speed stick TP1 w/ BPS JM CarbonLite 2.0 (8.3:1) - 6'10" MH Daiwa Tatula Bass rod w/ Shimano Curado DC (7.4:1) - 7'3" MH Favorite Emperor w/ Daiwa Tatula SV TWS (8.1:1) Anyone with experience with 2 or more of the reels especially, please give me your input! Thank you - Zack
