I'm using an ABU 6500

I have a GSB120 1M and the 22 seems even a little big on that? Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Dave

p.s. I don't have a local shop here to go into and try them on.

BIG FISH, what's your favorite plug, jig or eel to toss with this stick?

I've been hearing the sweet spot is around 3 oz. I'm hoping it's a good eel and 3 oz pencil and 2-3 oz swimmer stick.

thanks for the reply

Yeah, you can throw up to 3 no problem....2 ounces is ideal...poppers, swimmers, dannies, spooks! 1 to 2 ounces for me.:tooth:

Its done! Picking it up today so I will let you know what size seat I have on mine!

I'd go with a 20.

17 is pretty small for a 10 foot conventional. I've used 18, 20, 22 trigger seats on similar rods. The 20 is the most comfortable. Sometimes I cut 1/2 " off the threaded section of the seat to bring the foregrip closer to the front of the reel.

Get a tape on reel seat - They work just fine, and when you are 100% as to where you want the reel they can be wrapped right on the rod. I like the setup as I can change the reel position untill I am certain that it is home.:grins:
