Well there are several to choose from but I have one I would recommend. The Shimano Castaic. They make an older version and a newer one. Both are great but the new one has the Superfree bearing which also makes it great for pitchin because it allows you to toss lighter baits if need be. Both of these have a function where you can engage the spool with your thumb without having to change hands or turn the real. Does that make sense? When you want to pull more line out when flipping, you push the button, pull line and engage the reel with the same thumb you pushed it with. There are several other reels that have a flipping switch but it works differently. Wheny ou have the switch on, the spool bar comes up when you take your thumb off. This makes pitchin with the reel harder though because you have to either change the function back to normal or keep the button pushed down.

Go with the Shimano. You can find them cheaper on Ebay and can get good used deals. Don't worry about getting burned either because you can send the reel in for like 30 bucks and have the inards rebuilt like new.

Hope this helps.....and sorry you didn't get an earlier response. This one slipped past me.

You know the only thing that sucks about the buy/sell/trade is that it is in the members only section. When you want to sell something, do you care if a non member buys it? I doubt it. More eyes see it in here.. something we should look at.

where is the buy-sell-trade section? i'm a member and i don't see it.

i am a wbc member. and a member on the forum.
