Hi I've got some sonik xtractor gs reels coming and I need some new buzz bars but have no idea what size I need

I like to fish quite snug but my reels dont have folding handles but they are a small reel

What would you guys recommend

Happy angling fellas

Probably around 7” if using 3 rod
measure them when they turn up for the splay you prefer
I like a wide front so use 11” fronts and 7” rear with all my smaller reels

The simple way to work it out is measure the width from the widest part ie the handle, to the furthest part on the opposite side, times it by two and that is the width of your "Buzz bar" you need for three reels that do not overlap. But if you want your handles to overlap your reels etc to get a tighter fit, then you would have to make a reduction in size of the "Buzz Bar".

Are you fishing two or 3 rod ?

My rear 3 rod bars are 10.5 inch
Reels are Penn 7000 with folded handles they fit snugly 😉

im guessing the penns are a big reel so maybe i need a 8 or 9 rear

I will measure mine but if your handles don't fold I would
go with with 10.5
Not sure how to post photos but will try
