What's your all time favorite reel ?

[Buck 110]

Abu Cardinal 54

Mitchell 900.  The 900 was Mitchell's first skirted spinning reel, if I recall correctly. I never hear about these, but I sure like mine.

Shakespeare Ambidex 2400. Sentimental reasons with this one. My first spinner. Have caught many a bluegill and crappie with it.

Abu Cardinal 52. I don't own one but have always been interested in it. They are apparently a rarity. I should have grabbed one when I saw them listed in an early Bass Pro catalog way back around 1979.

Penn squidder 146

Maybe I've answered before on this very old thread...  I like the Squidder 146 very much and get a lot of use out of it.  I have a soft spot also for the Penn Mag 970.  Also I've been customizing old Daiwa Sealine reels and they are growing on me.

Maybe it should read "What's Your All Time Favorite Reel(s)?"

Mine keeps changing

I just mean singular, like the title. Even if it's a model series there's godda be one that you would favor over the others.
My original was the M.G. 306. I guess one could/should update one's preference; for example now it's the Penn SS thousand series for me, any thing above the 4500 model # but specifically the 7500 I own.
