First, thanks to everyone for overwhelmingly suggesting the Shimano Symetre for my newest spinning reel.
Next, I wanted to make an all around good setup for cranking...from shallow up to and including DT16's and DD22's. Already got a Lamiglass rod, now again with the reel questions.
The shallower cranks are of no concern to me, as just about anything will suffice when throwing these. When you get into the big bills and big baits for the deep cranking, what reel do any of you suggest? I know those bigger cranks have a tendency to wear out anglers and equipment, so I want something that will alleviate both problems effectively.
Gear ratio?
Brand/Model?
Keep in mind that, again, I am not rich. Let's try to not break the bank
Thanks, Wayne
If anyone needs more specifics, please let me know.
