I don't plan on going any heavier than that. Tackle Warehouse has the Orra Winch on sale for $100 and if you spend $75 on Jackal Products you get a free Gantarel. That's primarily what I wanna throw. I'm very new to the swimbait game so don't wanna spend $250+ on a swimbait reel if I don't know really what I'm doing. If that will work for baits in that range I might go with that. All I plan on throwing right now is maybe some Jackals, Magic Swimmers, and a few huds or smaller magdrafts.
I've been looking into the Lexa. I like the look of it. I've never used a diawa reel before but I've heard a bunch of people say that's a good reel for that. I was leaning towards the *** A3 because I'm a huge fan of their products and it could also be a good real for heavy cover flipping. but I don't wanna dish out $230 on a reel that isn't gonna get that much use compared to my others.
