Abu 7000 series. My picks are the discontinued Abu 7500 CT Big Game (black) or the 7500 C3CT (blue). These are non-levelwinds.
Another favorite is the Daiwa Sealine X 30 SHV ("Slosh30"). Casts very well right out of the box (better than an Abu I think!) with a fabulous drag (definitely better than an Abu!). This is a non-levelwind reel that is REALLY good for chunking.
I strongly suggest you start with 20-25 test mono to get the feel of the reel. Mono backlashes are easier to pick out than braid backlashes.
