Hello all,
I have always used round reels(Ambassadeurs early on and Calcuttas now), but I am ready to give a low-profile reel a shot. Conveniently, I need to purchase a reel for my St. Croix Top N Tail that I use for topwater and glide baits. A high speed reel is key, preferably 30 inches of line per crank.

Both the reels cited meet this criteria. Will the 50 size fit the Top N Tail rod better?

I am concerned the 60 series will be too large and cumbersome for the Top N Tail.

Thank you.

The 'feel' is about the same. I have both.

Not too large. Go with the 60 in my opinion. Sweet reels!

60s are not that big at all. Tranx and Lexas are huge though.

60 is very easy-palming and the 50 is only a couple ounces lighter. awesome reels.
