Catfish reel.

[Just_Bass]

I came across pretty good deal on Okuma Komodo SS 364. As gears junky, I told myself I might need another catfish/inshore reel. The problem is I don’t fish for catfish very often and hardly even gone to ocean fishing anymore (sold my Newell and boss magnum a while ago).
My current catfish reels are Abu 5600 (Royal express ii), 6500c3 and Stradic FA 2500. Do I really need a new low profile reel? Anyone have both and can compare the size. Both Abus are more than 10 years old but inside still look very good.
BTW anyone have complete line alarm out plus switch of 6500c3 to sell. I want to upgrade my 5600 from old style copper plate.

Those abu’s are solid.

Thanks but not that one. I need whole assembly off 6500 like this. Ereplacementparts show “discontinued part”.
