What reel are you pairing it with?

I have a Daiwa JDM Ballistic FW LT 1000S-P with the 4.8:1 gear ratio, and the JDM Ballistic FW LT 2000SS-XH with the 6.2:1 gearing. I picked them up on sale in September with the idea of getting a Lunakia later... I bought both because the price for them new was only $175 each. Even with the discounted price, it's the most I've ever spent on a fishing reel.

I have Sunline Troutist Darkness 3 lb - .128mm on the reels now. After I get comfortable with the rod using nylon, I'll try it out with an ester line.

Although I intend to get the most out of these Ballistics in 2021, eventually I want to invest in the next-level-up JDM reel.
