I'd go with the Abu 6000, or 6500c3. They're close to that range. I've heard nothing but bad things about the Abu BCX series. Just make sure they're made in Sweden. Just my two cents.  6600 BCX didnt last 1 month for me. I have Abu 6000's, 5000's & 5500C3's that are between 10-20 years old and they are still used on EVERY trip from Saltwater to Downriggin for Reds or Catfishin and yes even the occassional Green fish trips. I would never waste my money again buying a BCX Reel for anything other than Perch Jerkin............... I agree with you 100% Bama for what it's worth.......... Rob

If you're interested.... I have a couple catfish reels that I dont need. I dont have pictures right now, but....
One is an older (good condition) Abu 5000 High Speed silver colored reel. It does not have a bait clicker. I'd like to get ~$20 for it.
The second reel is a regular Abu GArcia 5000 (red), and I modified it to have a bait clicker (parts off a 6000). I'd like to get $25 for it. Send me a PM if you're interested.
I spend most of my time between Carrollton and Denton.

If anyone is interested in the reels I mentioned earlier, let me know. I still have them.

Here is the reels you need to get, you won't find them any cheaper, I had a promotional code that would have been an extra 20% off, but it is expired, I was going to get 4 of them if it still worked, but I guess I will just pass this on and let someone else get them!!! http://www.ffo-tackle.com/detail.cfm?PassProdId=4810

I bought a few from different companies and models. I have to say there isnt that many brands that I have found a reel ( PUN )
difference in.
But the Garcia 6500 x3 has really made a difference in them all. The bait clicker is really loud and it doesnt strain at all reeling in fish of all sizes.

Garcia 5500 C3. They can be used for catfishin and bass. Good all around.
All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure about you!

I had a 6500 with the clicker. Traded it away for some AC work last year. AC guy saw it on my wall and had to have it. He even gave me a discount on his work. I just gave him my 6500 and the St Croix rod I had it on and he called it even. I regretted the trade so much, I went out and bought the same exact combo again. No more trading this one away. I have the Swedish made 5000 also. Love them both. They will be handed down to my son.
The two best times to fish is when it's rainin' and when it ain't.
