I've just about decided on a 9' Lami plugging rod. Now for a reel.

While it'd be great to put a VS, a Stella or a Saltiga on it, I don't have that kind of headroom on my credit cards. So I've been considering a Penn Slammer 460 or a Shimano Sustain 5000.

The reel has to be braid-friendly and rugged enough so it can survive getting wet, although not dunked. Anyone have opinions, advice or other suggestions?
