Does the reel's weight matter?
Less than the balance and the spool. A 175 g and a 210 g 2500 fish the same on a 7' rod if the balance point is right; what you feel all day is a tip-heavy combo, not 35 g. Pay for a smoother drag, a better line roller and the right spool type before paying for grams.
