Looking for the right reel.  Budget wise I want something worthy of this great stick so I'm thinking Steez or Abu MGXtreme.  Prob. in 8:1.

 

Primary Use:

Pitchin stick for Bass

Big Jigs and Big Spinner-baits for Bass and Pike

 

Secondary:

Bubba Shot

C-Rig

I'd get the steez over the Abu all day every day

Met MGL HG or XG. 

Daiwa SV 103

 

Shimano Metanium

Revo

MGXtreme

Almost a unanimous vote!  

Steez or sv103.  Depending on your budget.

Congrats. That's my all-time favorite rod. 

I use a diawa steez ltd and a diawa sv103 for my pitching duties. The SV spools are great for pitching. I do have a shimano mgl, but I use it for moving baits.

 

I am not a fan of Abu Garcia, so I personally wouldn't get the mgx.

Daiwa SV103 on sale at TW for $202!!!

Tw has the 103 on sale for 202 and I picked up a 7.9.  Sure it will not last!!!
