Well that makes me happy

Straight off the top of my head id say go grab yourself a daiwa with Hyper digi gears which is just fancy talk for the higher grade material used to make the crown of the gear. The highest quality gears daiwa make and the same as used in the saltiga.

For all my hard running line pulling pelagics jsut like queenies i try and work toward this harder gearing.

To give you an insight into actual feel well if you have two identical daiwa exists one with hyper digital gears and one with digigear 2. The digigear 2 will feel slightly smoother on the wind and quieter however the hyper digigears will feel stronger and 'thicker' they are near on indestructible and really form the basis what make the legendary branzino and saltiga.

So after all that bullshit go buy one of these:
2014 Daiwa Morethan 3012H
Daiwa Morethan Branzino 3000
Daiwa Exist hyper Branzino 3000
Daiwa Exist Hyper 3012H
Certate Hyper custom 3000


These reels are all around the 285gm mark meaning they will balance on your outfit nicely. The new saltiga 3500 and Catalina 4500 are over 400gm which do not balance on the smaller pelagic outfits as nicely.

goodluck mate.

From the Shimano stables you have the Sustain 4000 for light or Twinpower SW4000xg a tad heavier delivered around $500.
