I have a abu garcia cardinal agenda AG3f its the first abu garcia reel I ever bought it holds 8/200, 10/160, 12/130 I am wondering would it make good panfish, and crappie reel. I have caught bream to channel cats on this reel and it holds up find. I usually spool with 4lb to 8lb test line. I think I am going to try it with 8lb to 10lb vicious panfish line. I need to find a rod to fit it.
Dont' know the reel personally but they used to carry spool carriers can't remember the term but they went around the spool of your reel to cut down how much line you had to put on your reel. That would be a serious waste of money to put 200 yards of 8 lb vicious line on it.
When you go to buy a rod take the reel with you and make sure it fits properly on the rod you want and also so it balances right. Nothing like a fishing outfit that doesn't balance right.
