I know squat about Conventional Gear but I'm hoping to get a combo this winter. I want it mainly for drifting eels but learning to cast conventional will also give me somthing to do over the winter.

I know I want a 1201m so the only questions is what reel to match it? I'm not concerned too much about the price but I'm not looking to fork over too much cash unecessarily.

Also, should I get a reel with a level wind since I'm a beginner.

So.......what reel should I get.
