Reel thoughts i think
i use a pair of shimano 400's, an "S" non levelwind and a "TE" which is levelwind. neither has ever given me any problems they are both very smooth reels. i prefer the TE it has more bearings and the levelwind allows me to be more focused on the lure rather than my thumb laying the line down evenly in the dark, and it's easier to tune to the weight of the lure and the wind etc. that's just me. while they are both very smooth, it is the smoother of pair. on a 12' rod the 700 would probably balance out ok. i don't think so on a 10'. that's a key for me, the balance. the TE's are the best conventionals that size that they make. good luck
