Rated 1 out of 5 by OldTimerOkie quality depletion
I have owned several of these reels. the last two were not as good as the first ones. The last one had a squeak out of the box. The pickup pins are too short, trouble catching line and line falls off the spool. the last next to last one required the replacement of the pickup spool soon after because of grooving by the mono line.

Rated 5 out of 5 by loweboats great purchase
bought this for my wife on her birthday and she loves it. With her being left handed being able to turn the crank handle to either side was what i needed. She has used it several times now and she really likes this real. Have had no problems with this reel

Rated 5 out of 5 by FDRtheGreat Nice reel
I bought this reel for an extra rod I had. I was able to use it once. I found it very comfortable to use and very smooth. My 12 year old has claimed this reel his. He really liked it. He didn't have to worry about getting the line tangled up around the bail. It is a perfect reel for novice fishermen.

I have owned several of these reels over the past few years. I crappie fish with them and occasionally catch a catfish, bass, or large drum (up to the 5# range) but I would not recommend it for your purposes. I think their quality is deteriorating. the last two I purchased had problems out of the box.A:

A:
You can use a spinning rod but I prefer an eight foot Crappie rod. (Bill Dance Quantum) the smaller line guides are better for pitching a jig or small bait.A:
IV GOT MY 576i ON A CASTING 7' GARCIA AMBASSADEUR,BUT SINCE YOUR USIN THE 276i,YOU WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER OFF GOIN WITH A 6' OR 6'6" AMBASSADEUR.ALTHOUGH IM NOT SURE IF YOU CAN GET THE AMBASSADEUR IN A 6' OR 6'6"......IF YOU CANT FIND ONE,THE CASTING 6'6" SHIMANO"CONVERGENCE" IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT CHOICE!A:

Any light to medium weight straight pole. Because it is an under spin the pistol grip will not work.A:
I PUT MINE ON A 7' SPINNING UGLY STICK. WORKS GREAT.

Hi BobbyD -I just reviewed the 276UI, and have 2 of these. One on an Ultra Light (Ugly Stik Lite 5' model) and LOVE it.
However, I think it would best be paired with a Medium-Light model. My other is on a 6' BPS Micro-Lite model.
But I''ve so enjoyed the feel of the Ugly Stik that I'm looking for their 5' 9" Medium-Light model (found at Gander Mountain).
To sum up: UL is okay, Light would be good, Medium-Light probably best. Your mileage may vary.

Bass Pro lists most line retrieve ratesbut not this one.

A:
Its 19" which is good for this type of reel. the zebco 33 underspin is 18A:
IM PRETTY SURE ITS ABOUT 19inches PER TURN.A:
Retrieve rates are list as gear ratio. this one is 3.2 to one which is on the slow slide. 6 to 1 would be on the higher side.

Update to my last answer - according to the BPS catalog, the 276Ui has a 19" retrieve.Definitely not in line with my own test using a tape measure and reeling in a weight one full turn of the handle, but ...
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The ratio is 3.6:1, and by my measurements using a measuring tape and reeling in a weight, one revolution of the crank brought in 24".This is obviously unscientific, but there you go.
Answers
A:
It is 3.6:1 but gear ratio does not mean much with this type of reel. A better gauge is how much line is retrieved per turn of the handle. For this one its 19". You could have a high gear ratio and a very small spool and it will seem as slow covered wagon.A:
3.2 to 1A:
You want a spinning rod since this is an under spin configuration (you want no "trigger" on the rod as in a spin cast rod). The weight and size of this reel is fairly big. Think medium action rods of 7 feet or so to balance well . This reel would be too heavy for an ultralight rod in my opinion.1 of 1
