Re: Recommendation for deep water high speed reel
I agree with the1jonc.
There are definate advantage to 2 speed reels when deep water fishing such as tilefishing.
When you're trying to check bait from 6-700 ft deep, high gear definately helps. Then when you hook up a nice tile, low gear definately helps as well.
I used saltist 40LD 2spd and worked fine for me, but I've also seen some with 4:1 single gear such as Jigging Master PE6 or so. With longer arms, they have a lot of cranking power and worked fine. But they are quite pricey though.
As long as the reel can hold 500yd of 50-65lb braid and can crank all day without tiring you out, it'll work.
Good luck..
