Do it ALL? Would have to be a 16/0 senator. I suppose I could trout fish with it. But I can't marlin fish with a Zebco.  ;D

Just an aside: Something about the thought of hooking into a marlin with a Zebco made me remember an incident from my youth.  My brother and I were fishing off a bulkhead in the back bay of Harvey Cedars, NJ.  We would fish this spot regularly, almost every day that summer.  There was a particularly loud Donzi speedboat that would go by on the weekends.   They would pass us with little regard for our fishing, or where our lines were.   One day they picked up my line, and proceeded to spool my Penn 720.  I screamed to get their attention, to no avail.   Most likely all of the line on my reel ended up twisted around their prop shaft.   Never did that again. :)

P.S.  What would the result have been like if I had been fishing a 16/0? ;D  I may have been dragged through the bay.

That's why i love these threads..you never know where they are gonna go....

Abu 5500 vs. CC Squidder: I wouldn't want to cast plugs for bass all day with no levelwind. That said, NO comparison in the drag and strength. I have an ABU 10000,  and the CC would probably pull it apart if I get around to the steel sleeve. The 10000 even only has two crossbars plus stand, for 30 lb mono reel with a power handle...

Are we talking one or two types of reels?  Or just one or two reels?  It would be impossible to run a 6 line trolling spread with 1 reel, so I guess I'm out of the game.

       One reel  Does it all , take`s any size line , holds a lot of line .
        Can cast with it or straight drop .
         A unique drag system .
        Can catch bait fish on up to what you can hold on to .

A tanked out 99 sized Jigmaster with some extra spools.  I take a bunch of reels when I go fishing so this one stays at home but if I had to pick one something like this would pretty much cover anything this side of big tuna.

Mark, funny you mention the Jigmaster. As popular as it was & still is it's one I dont have any experience with. Just recently received one to work on. The size & gear ratio makes these reels very usable... Jeff

For saltwater I'd like to say the Longbeach 60, but my Surfmaster has an aluminum spool and would be a little better with lighter line when needed.  For freshwater, a 3.5" JW Young fly reel.

Started salt water fishing with a Penn 85 that I bought for 4 dollars. Still have it. Maybe I will return to where it all started ! :)😃

Interested to know if it's a sentimental thing? Given that the Shimano Stella, Daiwa Saltiga and Okuma Makaira Spin exist, seems funny to go for a $200 reel.

Likewise if I could just have one reel ever there's no way I would take a Senator 16/0 over something like a Makaira or Penn VISX, or even a solid old Tiagra for that matter.
