Reccomend me some Cod reels please

I don't think casting makes much difference in 300ft with a 32oz jig.

you might want to look at the Shimano Charter Special 2000. We have 8 of them, we use them for live lining, bottom fishing as well as trolling, they are a level wind reel, all graphite so they are nice and light and easy for other people to fish with. Not sure what the gear ratio is off hand but you might want to check them out. They are a die hard reel, can't beat them for the money. Spool with 50 lb braid and you will be all set!!!

Thanks Fisherwoman, I just checked the Shimano charter specials online and I think I have a winner. Levelwind, lever drag, great price, I'll probably look around and get 2. I'll settle for the 4:something to 1 retrieve but as we'll be down there and hopefully cranking up fish come September/October, it shouldn't matter.

Your welcome bud, you will not be dissapointed at all, they work great for all differnt situations, so enjoy and good luck with them. you won't notice any big difference in the gear ration vs a 5:1 or 6:1. You will be too busy bringin fish over the rail to notice.

Best of luck with them.

Fishsmith............32 oz. jig?%$@#%$@$%@# i now understand why u feel casting isnt worth it. That sucker is close to un-castable. I use a 10oz jig and cast it 40-50 yards.
