Conventional confusion

[fishsmith]

I'd like to beat this dead horse a bit.

What conventional reel for a beach bait/eel chucker-

I've got a 10ft conv. rod that has gone thru 2 reels so far this year:

1. a penn squidder - I couldn't slow down the spool enough when casting and spent the better part of the day de-tangling.

2. shimano corsair 400 - this P.O.S. lived up to all the bad reviews, I think the drag went in the first hour, but it did cast well, and gave me my first keeper this cinco de mayo, but my thumb is still growing its skin back from that night.

any opinions on the - Abu Garcia Ambassaduer 6500 Trophy collection-Striper for $90?

Thanks in advance - Jim
