I have a Quantum KVD Tour on mine. In fact, that exact combo is laying at the bottom of Lake Davy Crockett, so keep an eye out for it & let me know if you find it!

Still looking for opinions from an old school reel user, like myself. Wanting to blend old school and new technology. I don't know why I want to put a trusty 4500/4600 Ambassadeur reel on top.

In that case throw a lews bb1 or bb1ng on it. I don't know how it would balance on that set-up but i can dig my bb1 out of my antique collection and put it on there to see how the weight feels with it, but i think it would make a decent old school combo..

There's gotta be some old school person out there with a Veritas rod and an Ambassadeur 4600 combo. Let me hear from you.

I have a 4600 on a Veritas 7.0 ft Medium action that I use for top water only. I have not problem with the feel or action. I like it because it has the slower action and forces me to let the fish take the bait before I set the hook. I have no problems with the set up. I have 6 of the Revo STX reels too, but just hang on the the round reels. Us old guys love the old tools.

Can't beat a new Lew's Speed spool or Tournament Speed Spool. That's whats on mine and they are balanced perfectly and perform flawlessly.

I can't stand the old round profile reels anymore.
I started fishing with Ambassadeurs and then got a couple of shimano calcuttas and now I have to have a low profile in my hands. I think you get better feel with more of your hand on the reel. In regards to Veritas, I have 2 with a BPS carbonlite on one and an old Shimano Chronarch MG on the other. I love them both. my dad has the same setup with the veritas and bps carbonlite. the bright arse brass one. haha. nice setup though.
