If you can afford Basia's then you had better get Castizm's for the scopes. Just the right size and in keeping with your other tackle.

Daiwa GS4000 would Balance up good on them or Shimano ultegra 5500 would aswell

ive just been looking at the korum zelos 6000 in AD, super quality for the money. Its a 'mini pit' bit like castizm but tad lighter.

I'm using Daiwa crosscast 5000QD on my 9ft scopes and balance perfectly

I had a set of ultegra xtd 5500 and fox fx9s on my 9fters. Both were great but the shimanos were lighter

Fella s May I ask what exactly you mean by balancing your rods / reels ?
Balancing the rod on your finger just in front of the reel seat ?
Or balancing your tackle overall ?
rod to reel then line to test curve?
casting weight etc

And even better with the 3500 Sea Spins unless you want to cast a long way

Dont really see why it matters as 99% of the time there sat on my pod and when there not im either casting / reeling in with or without a fish on either way effects the balance.

I use emblem 35 scw on mine, work perfectly. Although I know a guy that just uses his basias on his so you could just use yours if you want.
I use some SS2600s on my 3lb ones for my smaller lakes

I use ci4 xtb 5500's on my 10's and 6's ,it's the feel of the reel what I like whether they are balanced or not I don't know.

Agreed

I find the 5500 size reels to big on anything under 2.25lb rods personally
