New reel for a new rod

[George]

just got myself the greys BZE and need a decent multiplier for it. kept my eye open for a ABU 6500 on ebay. want a smallish reel for flatty and possibly bass work so any suggestions and cheapish places to buy would be a help. had a look at the diawas as well.

Cheers...........

George...

have a look the 6000 and 5500 sizes as well, both spot on for a Bze.

Got the 3-5 oz I was after the 1-3 oz but kept my out at hardy's and came across the one I got reduced. been looking in there for a few months now so got it when I could. Feels just the job to tell the truth but the proofs in the trying...... hopefuly soon !!

Bait runner reel with braid complements a bze nicely.

using my bze 3-5oz last night, feel nice and easy was casting with 4oz and 5 oz and getting about 80 yards from it. think could get bit more distance but didnt want to pust it to much
