What would be the downside to matching a reel rated for 12 wt. line to a 9 wt. rod? I'm thinking about using the rig for stripers and blues and possibly salmon. If I ever got another rod for this type of fishing, it would be heavier than 9 wt., not lighter. My thinking is I could then use the same reel on both rods. I would just get another spool for the reel when it's matched to the heavier rod. Am I thinking straight or is this the bourbon talking?
