Numbskull uses one all the time. I love it because I can hear where he is in the pitch dark. Newells have a real distinctive sound. WHRRRRRR!!!!!! 
Tough reels. |
Why even try.........

Flap,
You failed to mention that on the retrieve it sounds like a coffe grinder, at least mine do. I love them though. |

A P220 or P229. I like the 229 the best, especially if using mono.

I like the 235 for 30lb mono and big tackle, the 229 for 20-25 mono. I don't like them with braid (saw through my thumb).

I was thinking about a squidder because of price, but the newell have a faster retreive, plus they will cast further so I hear. I am not sure if the Newell should be my first conventional.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

The 235 which is bout the same size as a squidder is easier to handle for some reason.I can't explain it.It's lighter.perhaps thats it.The faster retrieve seems to keep the line neater on the spool.plus comes in handy when a fish runs in towards ya an there's a rock in the way.
Don't be a scared of the no level wind feature.paying the line on with ur thumb will become second nature in no time.Plus it is a great advantage on feel.I do this thing when jigging where i impart this subtle action with my thumb.Killa..On the distance casting thing I think u could hop up a squidder to cast just as far.As a novice bait caster u probably would want to forgo that.Just set um up so's u don't birdsnest as easy.Then work it from there.A 7000 abu is not a bad reel either. probably a little less than the Newell.It's a little larger than the 235.Probably around the same line capacity.It's can be set up so no professional over-runs occur.So in that sense it can be considered more user friendly.
