I would take a look at the Wavespin reel by Doug Hannon. I have 2 of them and they hold up really well. Great for what you want to use it for. They have a great drag system. I fish for pike alot and these reels get put to the test often and they are holding up well. Cabela's sells these reels so go check them out
