Just Bought
I just purchased 4 Diawa CX80 spincast rigs. They are medium light underspin reels. They are pretty tough even though they are mostly plastic. Grand kids ain't broke one yet, but have managed to drop several in the lake. Have to replenish, so I choose this one as it has been so reliable over the years. Also cheap, about $15.00 at Cabelas or Wal-Mart. I use them on my crappie poles, and on my light (5-6 ft) poles. They are a little heavy for crappie poles (9 oz.) but are tough. Also have some DX40's. I swear by them, not at them. I have some expensive rigs, but most of the time I just use these little jewels.
For what it is worth,
Cane Pole
