I have a 2500 Daiwa BG, which is full metal and quite heavy which I use for pike, perch fishing.

I recently decided to go and buy an ultralight setup for trout and thought that a 2000 reel might be too big, so I went with a small 800s one from AliExpress (Tsurinoya Kingfisher 800s) and a 0-6g 6" rod from Myran (Myran Myrmecia Trout).

However I read into it a bit more and seems like people say it's not neccessary to go under 2000 and you only lose casting distance and line capacity.

Does anyone have experience with smaller reels and what do you think is the benefit?
