Umbrella rig reel

You will be fine. If you don't like the reel just put spool the line on another reel. I am assuming it is heavy braid, you will have a hard time breakin' it.

i throw them on a big round reel... was throwing it on a made in china abu garcia and was told it stripped something in the reel to make the spool always spin... no need for the button any more... so i bought an actual abu round reel and i think it was a c3... mine works great even the cheap reel did until it messed up ive heard low profiles work too...

The guy was trying to sell you a reel. There is nothing wrong with round reel. The only thing is they do not fit your hand as well as a low profile but that is personal preference. I throw both round and low profile.

I throw all low pro reels, but it's a personal preference....I've slung catfish floaters with the C3 a lot and it handles them well so I don't see why it wouldnt handle the A rig....You should use whatever you're comfortable using

I stripped out two C3s on the rig this weekend. I have no idea what that means other than I have two broke reels.

I prefer to throw the a-rig on a curado 200e7 w 65# braid. I've found the higher gear ratio helps keep it up in the water column when need be.
