drennan im 9 finesse 13 ft float rod,

[skimmers]

Hi just brought myself one of these rods...What Reel would you recommend for this rod

[lambrettasx200]

Skimmers your a fine judge of a really top float rod, I love mine. on the river (Thames) I mate it with a 20 year old Ryobi closed face reel which was based on the old Abu 507 but in my opinion better. On lakes or if you prefer an open face reel on flowing water go for the Drennan FD300 its a really well balanced set up & a very compact reel. enjoy, cheers John

Depends on your budget mate and intended usage.

Hi mate,I've got the im9 classic and have set it up with my shimano rarenium 3000.
It sits on there nicely and balances perfectly. Bit pricey,but if there's no budget-go for it. Let us know what you get.
