The Shimano 8000-Stradic or sustain are good reels for the ditch with 2 spools and great versatility elsewhere. Diawa Emblem pro-old model work good. Newer ones seem to have some issues.There are other reels that are great but more expensive.Conventional well ABU 6500 or 7000 can't be beat. Lami 120 m or mh are good blanks to build on and take a pounding.Century has some nice models also.Stay between 10 ft an 11 ft as there's not a lot of room for back swing on the cast in a lot of spots.There are a load of good stock models out there that do good but like what was mentioned prior if your only gonna fish it from time to time shop around and try some that friends have as Canal rods are specialty rods made for a purpose and have some limits other places as they are heavy duty rods made to fish hard current,heavy jigs and plugs along with long casts.So try some on for size an see what fits you best.Many that fish the ditch have a few extra rods they've tried or upgraded from .
