Unless your rod has titanium or another similar material lining the guides, I would not recommend these lines. In more than one instance I have seen the line make serious indentations and abrasions in rod guides. This also applies to line rollers on spinning reels and levelwinds on baitcasting reels. They will be harmed from its ultra coarse texture as well. Now, in fear of sounding like a salesman for JWA, I do prefer to use reels designed for this type of line.
Rods can vary as long as they have strong guides that resist abrasion.
However, I don't believe there are any reels, besides those that are produced by JWA that can properly lay the line on the spool. Unfortunately, there really is no way around this one. A final tip on preparing equipment for braided line is to take a cotton swab and place a coating of Turtle Wax on all the rod guides. Like boats and surfboards, wax protects the surface and reduces the friction between line and metal. Braided line does have its applications.
