If you were trying to put together a budget swimbait combo would you go with a round or low profile baitcaster?

I was looking at the diawa millionaire and it seems like a good budget round reel...

    I'd look for a used Catdiff or Calcutta. That's what I did.

    Oh and I'm talking about a set-up for swimbaits around the 1-3oz range.

    Yep, picked up a Calcutta 200b here for $150. Put Carbontex drag in it, and a CU 200e handle on it. Plenty of spool for 20# CXX.
