Hi Stickfish and welcome to Crappie.com If you like that combo, go for it. A lot of us spider rig where we may have many poles out at once. For instance, when I am rigged up, I'll have 10 poles out, and that is in front of the boat. My partner may have that many out in the back. So for me, I can't afford to put real expensive reels on every one and they really are not needed as you are not casting with them all day. I do have some better ones (ultra lite) I use for casting for white perch and bream. I also have some for the rare times I go bass fishing.
Bottom line is, if it feels good, do it! Later on if you get into jigging, you may want to get a longer and more sensitive rod.
