Just make sure to read all the reviews. One of my buddies had one seize up on him in the salt. Although it could've been an isolated incident since he didn't take care of it at all.

Yeah, not sure what size though. But he would leave it attached to the rod in bed of his truck with the float tube and sand everywhere

I had two of them and sold them. Not because they were not good reels, but because I sold them to buy my Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spools. Check them out! They are sweet, sweet reels and great reviews.

okuma reels seem to be pretty good from the reviews I have seen and priced fair as well.

They seem to have shimano match reel for reel and price.

quantum is good to but the only problem with them is if you need parts. they are not on the west cost and there is no authorized dealers around either

Are there times when you need more than 11lbs of drag on a reel that size?

But like Miller is saying, I'm getting tired of this westcoast reel monopoly!
