Shimano Spheros 8000. I have a bunch of them and they are great reels for the $$. You can find deals, but they around $100 bucks. Lot of guys here have em'.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I don't use spinning gear much. I do have a Penn 750 that I bought the first year they came out. Like I said I doesn't get as much use these days, some years only once or twice all season. I've caught tuna, tarpon, sharks, stripers, big blues and even amberjacks(which fight like bluefish on steroids) and it has never let me down

Catch'em up,
ThomCat
