I decided to go with the Daiwa Exceler Ultra High Speed. I'll get back to you in mid march and let you know how it's going.
I have 2 of the Dawia Excellers 6.1 I use them mostly for pitchin and flipping one spooled with 65 lb braid for heavy stuff and the other with 14 lb mono. Have had both for 3 years great reels for the money
