Default Re: Recommendation for deep water high speed reel

I was advised by the Tile gurus on here to go with a power retrieve, not speed. A 6:1 ratio reel will get you speed, but not the cranking power of say a 4:1 ratio. Bringing up a couple pounds of lead and a tile or two will wear you out with a high speed reel. Fin-Nor OFC30L is a reasonably priced alternative. about $200-$220.
