I'm currently using a Penn 525 Mag on mine. In the past, I've used a Newell P-220F on it. A Daiwa Saltist 20H would also be a fine match. All of these reels are great for 50# braided line as you'll get 300 yards on them, with a little mono backing.

If you prefer a levelwind I would suggest a Shimano Calcutta 400 or a Saltist 20 LW over a 6500 Abu.

If you want to use mono, I would suggest stepping up the the 229 size Newell or the 30 size Daiwas.

With a 525 Mag, 50# braid and a 1205, I'm confident I can handle any size bass, anywhere---even in the Canal.
