I dont own one but have heard from a few that do that the reel itself isnt that well balanced? I did try one that was on a 11' Lami and like Toby said it feels awkward on a thin graphite rod. Seems like its quite a bit heavier on the handle side making the rod turn in your hand when holding the rod behind the reel.
The abu's definitely feel more comfortable!!
Saltheart! Why not try and pick up a spare BG or two in the near future before they become non-existant!!
Every now and then someone will put one on Ebay in nice shape used!
Just a thought!
