Get either a Abu 5500C3CT (although expensive and hard to find brand new), an Abu 5500 C3 (levelwind removed) or a Daiwa 7HT. There are some good bargains on eBay occasionally as well. In general though any 5000-6000 sized Abu reel will perform well and do the task.

Which bass rod do you intend on using by the way?

Whats the new Abu 6500C3 like? I was thinking of getting one for the light boat and light surf fishing. Anybody got one of the new models that they can comment on?

Is the magtrax C4 the blue and gold model?
