ABU 6501CS
Shimano Calcutta TE401
Shimano Calcutta Conquest TE401
in that order...
If money isn't a problem and you want a reel thats easy to adjust from 1oz to 5oz check out the conquest...
I regret selling mine but i needed the $$...
I own the other 2 and the TE gets more use... the abu got used but i like the cast button on the shimano much more...

only had it for a year, but it held up well. i don't use conventional tackle in abusive conditions, mostly when I know I'll be staying dry.
