The Shimanos are fine and have a good rep, but when I wanted a new 30, I did some research and found good reviews on the Diawa 30 SLD (I think thats the model). Huge drag system with lever drag, and alot cheaper than the Shimanos. So far it has held up and worked great on multiple tuna in the 50-65 pound range.
