I love my Slab shaker reels & the BPS ones! Both are fine. The Slab Shaker with 4# copoly line with throw a small jig a long way.

A President is my main reel. I’ve had two over many years. The only problem I’ve had with one was me breaking the handle during a creek walking fall. There’s been no reason for me to want something else.
I havent tried the Crappie Maxx but I’m sure it will get the job done. I have a Mr Crappie spinning reel. They work fine. Keep it lubed and it’s problem free. I wasnt big on the pivot of the handle, but it’s not a deal breaker for the price. Their jigging reel that looks like a fly reel is nice to have on the side if you do a lot of vertical.
Another vote for Pflueger President, and if you are on a budget, look at the Trion.
