What reels did you get in the end craigyf?

I'm close to ordering a pair of GS4000LTD for my 10ft cork dwarfs & if you went for them I'd be interested to hear some feedback.

I've got a 1600 on my surface rod, which I was thinking of replacing with a 2600. Could possibly grab three as a second hand set?

Handles fold on SS2600's too and pretty decent reel if budgets permit

I think I'm going to look for some new reels as I'm using 10 foot scopes and I currently have fox fx9s on them but they don't seem to fit in the reel seat great. Also I have the scope two rod bag and the reels seem a bit of a tight fit. Can anyone recommend some reels for me to have a look at, preferably folding handles and front drag. Thanks
