Need a new reel

I forgot to add, I use Pflueger also, they are fine also, but I prefer the WM.

I ordered one, and just got it today. It seems to be very smooth. If the link only takes you ti Sierra Trading Post, the reel is Pflueger Purist.

I keep 20+ reels going at any one time. I have started buying the shimano's and they are all good reels. Tried the cheap IX series and have never looked back. Granted I do more trolling crankbaits and pulling jigs than casting but still do some casting. Have had some over 2 years and never had one give one minutes problem. That is a lot said for a $15 reel. I cant afford a $200 reel, but can only imagine how good they are if their $15 reels are bullet proof.

I stand by the Okuma Avenger 10b, and 15a reels. I use a 10b on my 4 1/2 foot ultralight, with either 2# line, or 4# line. I use a 15a on my old Olympic tackle 6 1/2 foot FW rod with either 4# spiderwire, or 6# spiderwire (I use it mostly for a trout rod)

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I went with a Lew's American Hero in the 100 size (1000 for other brands) Pairing it up with a Shakespeare Micro Series 7 ft light. Caught a great deal on nanofil so i picked that up in 12 pound for my main line, and some 4 pound Mr. Crappie clear for leader.

Ain't nothing wrong with the Shimano Sienna drag system or anything else that I have found. Drag has never failed me. For 29.99 it is hard to beat their performance. I don't have real high end reels, Sahara tops me out. I use these Sienna's w/o batting an eye.
