I guess I like different brands depending on the type of reel you want. Shimano makes great stuff and I really dig their spinning reels. I bought myself an Okuma Epixor spinning reel last year and it is my favorite. It is as smooth as the Shimano Symetre that I bought which was probably 40 bucks more than the Okuma. Baitcasters...well I've used diawas, abu garcias, etc. I think Pflueger makes some nice reels. For the money (in my opinion), Okuma is hard to beat for a nice spinning reel.
