Cod Reel

[Meat Hunter]

What's a good reel that they still actually make for mid-range cod wrecks. Not looking to spend a lot. I have a Squall and a cheap star drag reel. Want to stay with the star drag and lever to free spool.

I was told Penn 320GTI but can't find one. Was told a Finn Nor, can't find one.

The new Shimano Torium 16HG is hard to beat for under $200. It lists for a little over $200, but most shops are doing XMAS deals right now so you shouldn't have a problem finding for a good price.
