Hello, this is for you Euro nymphers out there.

I'm curious as to which school of thought you fall into, and why. The first school of thought is the thought that the Euro nymph outfit ought to be as light as possible, and therefore you will use the smallest reel needed to do the job, even if that small reel causes your outfit to be tip-heavy. The 2nd school of thought is that balance is more important that overall weight, and you will select a larger reel to counterbalance the rod tip to even or near-even balance, even if the overall weight is more.

I've already read both books on this by George Daniel and watched both videos by Lance Egan.

And if you have tried it both ways, which do you prefer and why?

No need to state "whatever feels right to you" or the like, as that is a statement of the obvious....
