Same here. I've got 2 Grandwaves and an older model Sealine 20 w/6-1 ratio. Smooth drag, light spool, no power. It seems like you have to dip the rod and get way below drag pressure to gain line. I've stopped fishing them.

For an all purpose reel in the price range you quoted I don't think you could beat a Newell 229 and on an 8" stick like a 196, it'll cast light jigs a mile. It was my go-to stick for almost everything until I switched to Trinidads but those aren't in the price range you requested.

Daiwa SL 20, not the prettiest or the smoothest, but it gets the job done without spending a fortune.

Depends on if you plan on casting plastics. If yes, go with the Luna. I have a Calcutta and its not worth $220. I've heard great things about the Luna. If you plan on using the rod for bait, go with the avet or a Daiwa SL20x. Good luck. | |

On what reel and where are you using it and what are you targeting?
A Newell 220 will hold about 180 yds of 20# mono. Local inshore you don't need much line so that's fine.
Offshore with a small reel I like to have more capacity so the spectra comes in handy. Besides, with spectra, when you change the line you only have to change the mono. Over time you save money with spectra.
