    There are quite a few good options out there. I use the Daiwa Tatula 300 paired with a Daiwa Kage 79MHRB A-Rig rod and it gets the job done very nicely.

    If you are really looking for the best and are open to spend a bit more, have a look here: https://digitaka.com/items/5/4/2/CAL...UEST+%28New%29

    I would get a 200 in the HG ratio. If you take care of it, the reel will last you forever and these are super smooth, super sexy and just a quality product. Prices with the Japanese websites are incredibly good and shipping is super fast.

    I use a Tatula elite. I don’t think you need anything more.

    I ordered one, sent it back. It's got a bigger profile. Thinking I could get used to it for throwing big stuff like glides, A-rigs and big spinnerbaits. Nice reel.

    Z200/Z2020, Zillion TWS HD and Tatula 153 would be my picks.

    As a really nice economical and still nicely built reel...my vote goes to the Abu Garcia Revo Beast X 40.
