There is a vast range of reels, some casting as little as 1g, some with computer chips (DC) in to do what an experienced thumb learns over time and some specific for bass luring (with braid and long distance casting)
When it comes to hitting the trail, we are all weight weenies, analyzing the weight and performance of everything we would bring
Choosing a fishing rod to go with this size reel: Suited to boat fishing for either bottom bouncing or jigging or for use for shore based beach and rock, an ideal choice in rods to go with a 16,000 spin reel would be a rod that is 12ft or longer for land base fishing styles and a size between 5-7ft for boat fishing
Made in both 3.5 and 5 and plenty of colors
It is pretty standard to have 2 ft
Installation: If the underside of the location is accessible, use stainless steel bolts and lock nuts to attach the base
