I would recommend a Abu 6500 levelwind to start. Try to get one with Mag casting controls. The Abu 6500 C5 Mag is pretty nice for a beginner. Mike T has them.

Smaller reels are faster like Wee wee said but you can slow thgem right down with spool tension and Mag controls. Much easier to get your thumb over. You don't want to have to worry about leveling the line on the retrieve yourself.

I believe the best of the ABU 6500 size is the BG 6500 CL but that has no Mag control. Next best IMO is the 6500 CS Mag. Mike T might have all them. the Bg 6500 Cl has a bait clicker while the ones with Mag controls don't. If you are a bait chucker , I think the clicker is important.
