Hi,Thank you for the great site. If you had to pick only one basic reel design to fish & to make it into something that it is NOT, by modifying or"upgrading" with aftermarket or custom parts what reel would you start out with.newell,accurate,tiburon,progear all started out by making penn jigmasters & senators better, van stall made the crack 300 better for us spinning guys.
What type of fishing? Surfcasting? Mono, spectra,...? # test? There are so many options, but it depends on your application and target fish. Please send us more info.
