+1 for the Saltist levelwind. The Sealine X SHA 20 is a fine reel, but it doesn't have a levelwind which most folks prefer for eels, and the Saltist has an all metal body whereas the Sealine is partially graphite. The gearbox on the Saltist is also canted forward, so it's not in the way of your finger if your rod is being built with a trigger seat. The Sealine's gearbox does get in the way and it can get uncomfortable after awhile.
The Saltist runs around $170 whereas the Sealine SHA runs about $130.
