Whoa, tough choice, but if I could only have one... Jigmaster 500 w/aluminum spool. I think it's the most versatile of them all.   8)

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

Jigmaster 501, having the quick take apart feature  was a big + for me and the fact that there is so many upgrades available

I would go with my First Penn Reel the 180. I received it when I was about 7 yo. I caught many Fluke with it & my first Striped Bass. We had a 16" limit back then. Harry helped me bring it back to life after a long storage.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Did not know that 180s were that old...

525Mag w/Torque handle.   Casts great, killer drag, plenty of power for fishing 15-25# line.

Can't give my choice of reel, I'm losing too many on line already ;D, this one guy always outbids me. ::)
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

*Old school International I 16...because I caught most of my truely great fish on it as a youngster.

Modern day..I have been highly recommending the tries and true bulletproof International II 80STW

9/0s also hold a special place in my heart.

The New Torques look like great little reels as well.

501 alloy spooled Jigmaster left handed. Perfect for a lot of the boat fishing we do over here.
