Recommendation for deep water high speed reel

[the1jonc]

I would go with a 2 Speed so you have the flexibility if you get into a big fish.

I have a Daiwa Saltist LD 30 2 speed and it is good for me for everything I do except tiles. You might go up 1 size and try the LD40. They run in the mid- $300 range.

Good luck.

Kick the lever past the stop and an aggressive cam takes you quickly to drag max for near-boat fish control. Lever Drag 2 Speed Reel. Medium, 6 CRBB, 6.3:1 Hi Gear Ratio 3.1:1 Low Gear Ratio.
