    Reel for Shimano Backbone

    Just been given a Shimano Backbone BBE 66 15-24kg rod, what would be a good reel to match with it?

    JohnK,

    I have a BB 5'7" 15kg rod and it is mated to a TLD25.
    I bought the combo second hand from another Ausfisher.

    It is an awesome jigging outfit and we also use it trolling at times.
    It has changed the way I think about shorter rods.

    It is the only rod on the boat under 7' and I regularly swap between the TLD25, TSMV and the cheaper GT330 reels depending on what type of fish we are chasing.
    All combos work well for us.

    Cheers,
    Rich
