I have 2 6'6" Abu Garcia Black Max Combo's  Instead of having two of the same exact set-ups is it possible to buy a rod for one of the Black Max Reels so I can throw lighter lures with a baitcaster? The Rod Combo is rated for 1/4"-1". I was wondering if I could just buy a rod rated for something like 1/8oz, 3/16oz type of lures? I know that rods have a suggested lure rate on them I just didn't know if Reels do to? If so what rod would you suggest?

 

I am looking at the BassPro Micro Lite and wondering if it would work?

 

or the Med Light BassPro Tourney Special?

 

 

Thanks

I'd advise you just get a spinning combo for that. You won't be able to throw a 1/16-1/8 with a baitcaster

Casting light baits with a baitcaster is an expensive proposition with no real advantage. I think you'll be frustrated trying to cast such light baits with an entry level reel. Light tackle calls for spinning gear, unless you're a baitcasting enthusiast.

I have a Pflueger Trion 35 Spinning Reel & Rod that i can throw lighter stuff on. i just like the feel of the Baitcaster better. I guess i will stick with Spinning for lighter lures. Thanks

You'll probably want to get used to the feel of a spinning reel or the feel of forking out the price of 6 to 10 of those black maxes, and then close to as much for a rod to go with it.
