I would also recommend these products as I've tried them out through friends:

Quantum
-Cabo or Catalyst

Shimano
-Curado
-Corvallus
-Cardiff
-Calcutta

Abu Garcia
-6500 C3
-6600 C4
-Record 60
-Orra SX
-Revo


I highly recommend the Corvalus reel - nice reel at a good price - around $110.

I have both the Corvalus and the Abu 6500C3 - both work well but I am partial to the Shimano because I started with a Calcutta many years ago.

The major difference is the way you release the line.
The Shimano has a thumb-rest release and the Abu has the release has a button on the edge of one the sides.

Try them both at the store and see which one works best.
