Not sure if it's relevant to this thread because I'm not sure if BPS offers them or if they're still available, but I really like the Pflueger Purist reels if you can find one. I know that the President gets a lot of love here, but the Purist is lighter and arguably smoother than a President of the same size. I found them on closeout a year or two ago and ordered 3 or 4 of the 20 and 25 sizes and I positively love them. If I could find them again for the price I paid (I think $40-50), I'd purchase 4 or 5 more.
