What reels are you guys using on your long jiggin' poles?
Those $12 gray Shakespere reels work out nice because they make it easy to keep track of how much line is out (1 revolution of the handle equals 1 foot, ect.)
But the d*mn things are the biggest P.O.S. ever made. I've bought 8-10 of them and don't think I've ever had one last long enough to change line on it.
I bought a couple of the B&M (black ones) thinking that they were better quality, but they are just the same reel with different sideplates.
Does anyone make a reel of that design that is of better quality ? I'm thinking about going to a flyreel, but they lack anti-reverse and won't allow the line counting like the little baitcaster types. FEED ME !
