Bass Pro Shops has a David Fritts 4.3:1 model out for about $50..It is smooth casting and very well put together....I would recommend a 4.3 or 5:1 ratio due to the bait staying in the strike zone longer on a slower speed reel...Also reeling a slower reel all day will cause less fatigue on the fisherman...I throw an old lew's and the new BPS David Fritts...I throw everything from a dd22 to a shallow runner with these...Both good reeels with medium price ranges...
