Abu makes some fine reels but they are not really what you're looking for in a iron casting reel. You want a bigger reel with out a level wind on it. Depending on your price range you can go with the Newell 300 series, Daiwa sealine, saltist, or saltiga, shimao torium or trini. All will work. I have been meaning to update my surface iron gear for years now but my old Newell 338 and 533 just keep killing fish. Mike
