At a moderate price point, that brings you to the Spinfisher or Clash both are sealed and both available with 6 to 1 gear ratio with the Clash being a bit lighter.

I would also suggest going and seeing them in person and mounting them on your rod to see which balances the best.

i don't think you can dunk the clash into water like you can with the spinfisher
