I have got my wife casting an Albaore Special on a 7ft hollow fiberglass boat blank 25-35 yards with a 2oz sinker. That is all you need to fish of a party boat and be further out than 50% of the others fishing, especially when the boat is full.

Still, for a live bait reel, I can't see using anything but a star drag or spinner, especially if all you have is pin head chovies. If you want to be able to buy it from a tackle shop, the Fathom is as good as any. I'm thinking that Pro Challenger will have the 113HNN (my name) ready to go in a few months, and it will be hard to beat.
