seeing that most people have covered all of the very popular reels, one more to look at with an open frame is the daiwa saltiga surf. though many people seem to use it as a bait reel, if your throwing big plugs, it may be something to look at. however, i really think sticking with a levelwind for plugging would be ure best bet. also, gear ratio and line reel in per turn are something to consider as well. for plugging, a gear ratio of 5.0 or more to one (ex 5.3:1) is a good choice with anywhere from 30+ inches of line reeled in per turn. obv this advice will differ from person to person but give a few reels a try and see what works for you.
good luck.... there are so many to look at
