There are several versions of these made by wally marshall, silstar, and shakespeare to name a few. They are all based on the same specs and look identical. Here is the cheapest one that I've found... http://catalog.catfishconnection.com...number=SHWR20B

Oh yeah, here is a link to one of the Silstar versions. You can get a good deal on ebay if you keep track on it. Someone always seems to bump the price up to about 9 bucks by the end of the auction though. Worth a look.

I have several of these and they work..sort of. They do hold the line but you have to watch the line as you wind it in because there is no line guide. The line will eventually get over inbetween the spool and body of the reel. The line then wraps itself around the spool shaft quite nicely. The reel then has to be disassembled to untangle. This is very handy with a fish on and 7 other rods in holders needing to be watched. But what do you get for $9 anymore that has good craftsmanship?

I have a little experience with these small baitcaster reels. I have one of the Shakespeare wonderreel 20 (it was the model before the new one). I haven't had a problem with it at all, yet. I hope to slowly convert all of my slo-trollin' poles over to these style reels.

I don't see why they wouldn't work for long-lining. But, I seriously doubt that you would be able to cast with them (there is no "trip" as in a spinning reel or a regular baitcaster) because of the continuous drag.
