Kinda depends on how much money you want to spend. I got a Saltiga 15 for bottom fishing and I won't tell my wife what it cost. :D

A lot of people like the maxell hybrid too

Or you could find a used jigmaster.

Lots of choices. My one recommendation is to get a star drag, not a lever for bottom fishing.

I use Both a star drag as well as a lever drag.
I personally like the lever drag alot more for blackfishing really ruff stuff
Both reels are made in the Penn fathom series.
I like the reels in the sizes 15 and 25 narrow.
good drags and smooth as silk

Penn Fathom excellent reels , I would personally use the 15 however if I u like wreck fishing as well 25N Fathom .
These r star drags , some may prefer lever I've used both like star for bottom wreck fishing etc.

I use a Saltiga 20, I lie about what it cost, but it is excellent for bottom fishing.

I have an Avet SXJ and it works great for Tog and everything Inshore.

What's your budget and do you prefer lever drag or star drag?
