tony, the best reel is the one that you can service yourself. my choice was a set of accurates for nearly $8,000. do a search under key word "rebuild" and author "alantani" and you will see quite a few rebuilds. they can also be found at
Reel Tips i believe that the ability to service you own gear is as important as being able to field strip an m-16. good luck and let us know what you decide. alan
