Lead Core Reel

Looking for a recommendation for a reel to use with lead core line. Want to round out my trolling setups - I've got wireline on a penn senator 113HSP which works great. Thanks

I use the Penn 330GTi with 45# leadcore. The reel holds one spool of leadcore and the level wind works well if you have guests on board that have a hard time working the line back on the reel clean. Have also set up a 320GTi with 45# test lead that works well in shallower water. Agian the level wind helps to keep the line on straight if you have guests fishing.

Ditto on the 330 GTI level wind.
Great reel for that application.

There is a under utilized reel that not too many people like, But I love mine infact I have a few. it is the Pen 149 hi speed and great for trolling wire and lead core. you can usually get them cheap on Ebay too.
