Reel for striper trolling on LC?.

[Doubledee]

Guys, I'm in the process of putting together a couple of rods for use with down riggers to troll for stripers on Lake Cumberland. I am considering buying a couple of Shimano SpeedMaster IV reels (available from Bass Pro Offshore Angler).

What do you think? What do you use? Any comments or recommendations will be appreciated.

I use the Shimano Charter Specials.They hold plenty of line but best of all the drag works smooth and dosent over heat and tighten up causing the fish to break off. That ha cost me some fish with other reels. Nothing like a monster striper ripping off line for 30 to 60 seconds to get your heart going. Goodluck on your fishing.
