I would second the shimano baitrunner. Or if youwant a slightly better drag then the shimano thunnus. The baitrunner feature is a big selling point for me on both of these reels. I have about 10 of them and havent been able to destroy one yet. I have also heard good things about the Quantum Cabo & Boca PT spinning reels but dont own any. Stay away from the Okuma's they dont hold up to larger fish.
