Reel Recommendations

Vintage Penn Senator 3/0 Special made in USA. 3.7 retrieve. Ebay or someone here can fix you up. 4/0 is a little big but will suffice. AK47's of reels.

Thanks for all recommendations guys. I've been looking around and I really like the saltist star drag levelwind. I like the level wind feature but I need to ask what's probly a dumb question but with the lever drags you have to use your thumb to distrubte the line evenly on the spool correct? I've only ever used my levelwind lol

Yes, but it comes almost natural and if you use a heavier power pro65-80 it will almost guide itself, and it's a lot easier winding in a top shot when your not trying to pass the top shot knot through the level winder as dropping , casting, or even coming in.
