Shimano Technium 14000 XTB's paired with Harrison Telos 3lb rods

[LC1975]

Hi,

I've ordered some new Harrison Telos 10ft, 3lb rods.

I fish exclusively with braid on my syndicate, the butt rings for the new rods are 50mm so it shouldn't frap.

The rod will be on the pod most of the time, except for casting and playing fish. 

I did see a video with Matthew Collins where he says big reels are good on short rods, however i'm not sure if my MGS would be overkill?

My current reels are the newest version by Shimano and weigh roughly the same as some other smaller big pit reels.

I don't want to buy a new set of reels for these rods if I don't have to.

Cheers,

Luke

These are XTD's, not XTB as in the title of the post.

Thanks
