Yes.

In my opinion, It's really hard to answer that without holding them to see balance and how the reels sit in the different reel seats. My suggestion is to just start mounting them up in different setups and see what feels right.

 

If I told you how many times I have rearranged rod and reel setups, you'd laugh. My wife does every time she sees me messing with them.

 

Some reels just feel right on certain rods and it's not always as expected. For instance,.. I recently bought a new Zillion SV and planned to use it on a Champion XP 705cb for cranking, but it didn't feel right on there. My SLX felt much better on there for balance and casting and the Zillion felt great on my Fury 733c.

 

Who'd have thought?!?!
