i have only owned 5 in my life , and all of them bought within the last 9 months so i am definatley no expert , but for a lower price reel my shimano sahara is great , it is very very smooth , the shimano stradic is higher priced but it is an excellent reel , i think the shallower spool reels give the best cast using very light lures , my friend has some very expensive shallow spool reels and they cast really well but just the plain ole stradic and sahara do pretty well too.....

Okuma makes some really smooth reels

Presidents.

I have 4 Presidents and like em all. Also have one of the 5’ lightning rods with one on it. I have other rods in its class and prefer a 1 piece rod, but that lightning rod just handles great. Other reels can make the cut but I put a lot of stock in the balance of a rig. I try to put the rod and reel together in my hand before I say yes. I’ve taken a few back apart in the store and bought nothing that day, just didn’t work like I thought it would.

Pflueger presidents, if you're not in a hurry wait till black Friday Cabelas and bass pro usually run them for $39.99. Bought mine a couple years ago and there are really great reels

Okuma with a few older Penns.

Shimano Siemna, Mitchell Avocet and many of the Bass Pro branded reels work great for me in freshwater.
