Hi Guys

I received an Assassin Bluefish XT 14.6 as a gift. Its a 3oz to 5oz sinker.

I would like to know if a Daiwa BG6500 will be ok to use on this rod or is the reel too big.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Nad

The BG6500 and BG8000 has the same body, with the 6500 having a shallower spool.

I would lean more to the BG5000.

Just bear in mind that the sizing on the BG and the BG MQ differs in size (I.e. a BG 8000 and BG MQ's sizing is not the same)

gosa 8k/10k, bg 5k or mg MQ 8k/10k will match that rod very well. I personally fish a gosa 10k and bg5k on my 14'6 and it balances very well on the rod
