Hi Pemi-Man,

I use the Scientific Anglers System 2 reels, the old style unvented. I find these are better then the new ones (vented). I have 2 8/9's and 2 10/11, all with extra spools. They also have a drag system that would stop a horse. They will not backlash like some other reels. My first one I had for 15 years and it still works like a charm. Here is one on E-Bay that closes in the next day or so. If I didn't already own so many I would buy it myself. It's in great shape, you also can usually get extra spools for about $25.00 to $35.00 on E-Bay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... %3AIT&rd=1
