Call me crazy, but I'm not.
Most of my reels are old Mitchell 330 spinning reels from the '60s and 70s. I buy them on e-bay for less than $40 and they don't make reels like that anymore let me tell ya. They cast like a dream.
The last Shimano reel I bought cost 4 times as much and didn't stand up very well.
My big trolling reels are Diawas or Okumas.
