Id go with a nice conventional reel.
Hey Nebe,
I understand that they are designed for wading but when you have a so called "work horse" shimano spheros that goes through 4 spools due to saltwater corrosion you can't really say that its a "bad egg". I also took the proper precautions of cleaning my gear after every trip, so I have came to the conclusion that I need something that will withstand all these external factors that I went through in just one season. That is why I find it appropriate to buy a van staal and I also dont just fish the canal but the maority of the times I do.
