I need a reel for this rod. note I want to use a star drag reel and it could be a used reel.
I would say you need something atleast 9/0 sized for a rod that heavy like an old penn 9/0 . I'm in the ukbut there seem to be a few available in the us on ebay for around your price point
What do you mean 9/0
9/0 is the reel size. That's a heavy rod rated for heavy line do your going to need a winch of a reel to match it
Thank you for the info
Penn senator
That might be a good option
Penn Rival Level Wind Conventional Reel -RIV30LW
I’ve got penn senator 9/0 reels on both of mine $150 on Amazon brand new maybe under $100 used on eBay but I’d spend the extra $50 honestly

I will look into it
Find an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur. Some great second hand options out there.
It is very hard to find them without the levelwind
eBay
Penn Senator 6/0 or 9/0 depending on needed line capacity and aplication.
