I mostly like level wind reels. Problem is it's hard to cast really light jig's with them. So I do keep aound a few spinning reels. Got a little Ocuma ultra light on a 5' Ocuma rod I really like. But I got old too. Some of the inside of that reel reminds me of the old Mitchell 308! Speaking of Mitchell, love'em, I just got an old full bail 300 on a new rod. First reel's I ever remember fishing with were Michell 300 half bail reels, wish I still had one! Anyway didn't have a rod I liked for it so scrounging around the Bi Mart I found a Shakespare spinning combo for $19. Pretty inexpensive I though and the rod has a full cork handle. couldn't give me one of those new ugly thing's! Strange thing was it was an ultra light reel on a 6' med action rod? Now I've got my old 300 up and running for something but have a new ultra light reel I need a rod for. See how that works. Shoot if I was married I'd have an excuse for another new rod!
