Does it have to be an ABU?
If it does, and you looking at a canal reel I would recommend the 7500 HSN. Nice reel, narrow spool and the frame is much better suited to the demands of the canal. very nice step up from the 65 series.
There will be lots of opinions I'm sure, but a very nice reel for what your looking to do is the diawa sealine X in a 20 size. Solid reel, great drag, very controllable when casting with eels. great value for the dollar spent.
