Shimano Curado's and Citica's........E's, D's, B's dosen't matter. Next would be Abu Revo's, I like the S better than the mag break SX's and STX's. I don't have a dual break STX.................yet, but it's on my list.

Okuma Cayenne. Try one!

Abu Garcia Revo S  I only keep one set of brakes turned on,

and with the spool tension knob adjusted for each bait, I

just can't make it backlash!

Curado B,E7,E5, didn't like the D's.

Revo S and SX. I've got one of the newer BPS purple Rick Clunn reels and like it really well so far.

Daiwa:

Sol

Alpha Ito

Fuego

Zillion

btw.....the Fuego is possibly the most under rated reel in the history of Daiwa reels.

All my baitcasters are REVO STX's except the reel on my slop rod which is a Pflueger Summit.

I carry seven BC's in the boat.  Two older Curados, two older Castaics, one Caenan.  Wouldn't part with any of them.  One is a Daiwa that I bought in a fit of madness, although I admit that it casts beautifully with the dual braking system.  The last is an OLD Quantum Iron4 with a 5:1 retrieve that I use for cranking.  It does great on shallow/mid-range lures.

That thread is so 2010  ;D

I have a few different reels, they all work well.  I'd say the most trouble free reels is the TD-X103HSDL on my heavy cover rod.  That thing takes a world of hurt and abuse, but keeps on ticking.

I like my Quantum Energy but my Cabelas Prodigy made by Daiwa and my Daiwa Exceler spend more time on the water. I like the Exceler enough to be picking up a burner model in a couple of weeks.
