In response to In response to 2


          

Get a Abu 5500 or 6500 C3. The 5500 for 12#, the 6500 for 15# maybe 20#. The 5500 should cost about $65, and $10 more for the 6500. If you want a thumb bar, get a 5600 C4, they are about $85. The new Shimano Catala might be worth looking at, but the Corsairs while redesigned are still not as good as the Abu's. The Shimano Curado 200 is a great reel, but they cost $124 and won't fit much 10#, let alone 12#. The one thing about a Shimano is that they stand behind their product pretty well. The problem is, you shouldn't have to know that. Get an Abu, clean it every few trips w/ Corrosion X, add a single drop of oil to each bearing, and it will last you a long time.
