I have several spinning reels now - and 4 conventionals. Mostly saltwater varieties.
I would like to upgrade to just "one" good Large Mouth Bass reel.
What I'm looking for is a freshwater reel that will hold about 100 - 150 yards
or so of 65# braid which is the equivalent size of 17# mono.
I know that sounds kind of "beefy" to some of you, but, when you are dragging
a big bass out of heavy cover you usually drag about 15 pounds of weeds with the
fish all the way to the boat.
So, with this in mind, I would like a good spinning reel first - - then, to a bait caster with same specs.
budget of $150 max for each.
