Have you considered the Maxel Hybrid 25? Star drag for bottom fishing, 28 lbs drag, 5:1 gear ratio, the Accurate is a little better for blackfish at 4:1, but 5:1 isn't too bad. Both are overkill for inshore seabass. Casting problems with the spool release on the original Hybrid 20's aren't an issue with the 25. Check it out, a nice little reel.
