I use the daiwa accudepth plus adp17lc reels and the okuma convector 20lc reels and I have nothing bad to say about either reel. but I did replace the paddle handles on the daiwa reels with the power handles. the convectors I bought came with both handles. but either reel is below 100.00. I also have the daiwa sealine sg17lca reels and they've been bullet proof.
