shimano spheros all the way. i have the 4000 for schoolie time, 6000for a 9 foot rod, and 8000 for a 10 foot rod. the weight of the 6000 and 8000 is practically the same. however the extra line capacity does make a big difference. i ran into a few issues last season with the 6000 line capacity.

i previously owned a penn slammer. spheros has proven to be more durable so far. and i'm a frequent reel dunker.

imo, you can't go wrong with the spheros for the price.
