tillylamp 1,837 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 hi, thanks for your replys on the subject,and ive been looking at the abu 6500 range as 8 shot mentioned,and they look like the reel for me! oscarsdad,i did have a look at the penn 525 supermag,it looked very good,but the reviews werent all that,alot of the people who used them said they were very noisey when they was casting(from the bearings) but they did say the 525mag was better,but thanks anyway. thanks tillylamp.

tillylamp 1,837 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 hi paul, the greys rod is a grx-s 13', and the reel is a abu 6500, the rod has not been hardly used its like brand new,and the reels in good clean condition and runs really smooth, i bought them from a junk shop near me and payed £87 for them? i think i had a good deal, the rod is one of the cheaper ones but it felt good for me,and the reel worked well, thanks for your advice, tillylamp.
