"Lite Bite" Rod

For that kind of fishing the 4000 is overkill. I second your thought to drop down to a 2500 or 2000 size reel. They are much lighter and should much better IMHO. You might want to look at the new Shimano Saros. It has taken the Stradic's price point which is about that of the Tierra. New technologies and superior to the older Stradic for the same price. The Tierra is a reel I wouldn't mind adding to my arsenal.

Thanks, LL! I do try to put the reel size when it's asked for. I can almost guarantee that your St. Croix will feel even better with the Tierra or Saros. If you do get the Tierra, please report on your findings. I need an excuse to acquire my first Daiwa reel.
