I use a Battenkill Large Arbor and love it!!
Since the spool is very similar in size to what the line came on.....I have little to no coiling at all.
Altho it's a tad on the heavy side.
Now Orvis offers a Mid Arbor....price isn't bad at all and a quality made reel.
Might be worth checking into!!

I caught a Fish so big once I couldn't weigh it.
Took a picture of it and the picture weighed 20LBS! (My Dad)
