Well, first I am no expert, but blow ups are getting fewer and fewer. I find that I can go for an hour or two with zero backlashes and then I'll get a little full of myself, back off on the control and really try for the max distance and BANG-FLUFF_DAM! blowup.
I started with a 6500C3 and mono. Great reel, easy to learn on. But now I have a bunch of reels and they are all pretty good. I like the black 6500 Big Game, I like my Tica Caiman CA200 and I just picked up a Calcutta 400B. I have heard great things about them Had to see. I think with practice they can all be easy to control. However, I am not sure about dunking... no as good as an old 704 for sure. I really believe that developing good smooth casting skills is the main the best solution to blow ups. And that means practice. I know when I just relax and don't try for maximum distance, I have less problems and my distance is just fine.
The Penn 525 Mag is well thought of in the non-level wind department.
