every time i loosen up the spool so that the jig will go far, the spool overruns and knots up

I assume this is a baitcasting reel. You need to adjust the braking properly for the size/weight lure your using.
If the reel is directly out of the box. First, tie on the lure you are going to fish with. Then hold the rod at a 45 degree angle. With the bait reeled up to the tip, release the spool so the bait falls to the ground Keep your thumb on the spool so you don't over-run. Adjust the brake knob on the side of the reel so that the bait falls to the ground and the spool stops at the same time the bait hits the ground. You are then ready to cast. Try not to cast directly into the wind, it will create a birds nest. Practice this way until you become more proficient with using your thumb. Then you can adjust the brake to your liking. This is the best way to start. Asjust it that way everytime you change your lure.

I live in Washington and need to pick up a casting rod for steelhead this winter. I bought a nice Shimano Tekota reel, the 500LC. I'll be using it out on my drift boat mainly.

Stick with All Star, Fenwick or G-Loomis like this 9'9" heavy action with a long handle for extra leverage and balance. Since you are fishing from a boat, you might even consider a 10'6" model good for 2-8 oz baits and 10-40 lb test.

Best of luck to you!

Hi Everyone,

I’m looking for a rounded bait casting reel that I can cast and retrieve from ‘off-shore (like a pier)’ or ‘in-shore’ that has a clicker and a line counter too. I was gearing towards ‘Shimano Tekota’ or Abu Garcia Ambassadeur. Daiwa Sealine is in my list too but I don’t have any reviews about this reel. Just saw this reel from our local bait shop.

I’m looking for something sturdy, with corrosion resistance, light and can function just like my low profile reels (in case I’m lazy to bring both reels).

Any recommendation or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you prefer level wind reels. Please keep in mind that level winds will limit your casting distance if heavier test mono lines were used. Level winds got more moving parts that could trap saltwater and sand. Normally, those extra moving parts won’t bother you much. However, if you got a huge, strong fighting fish on the other end of the line and the reel was under high stress, those extra parts will become a handicap. The reels you mentioned aren’t exactly light weight reels anyway. If I were you, I’d spend about the same amount of money and go straight for smaller conventional reels which will handle small/medium tunas with relative ease. I’d prefer reels like Daiwa SL20SH or Penn 525 Mag. Both reels are very easy to cast and could cover long distances much easier than level winds. They could handle heavier lures/sinkers without any hiccups while still being able to fly line live baits. You’ll get a lot more reel for about the same money.

If you insist on level winds, I’d avoid Abu Garcia reels because their drags simply aren’t as strong as Shimano Tekota’s or Daiwa Sealines. I’m not saying Abu Garcia aren’t good reels. They’re just not in the same caliber range as Shimano Tekotas or Daiwa Sealines that’s all.

Tekota got a little edge over Sealine level winds. Tekota will fly line live bait fish or cast light weight objects easier and further than Sealines. Tekotas work a little smoother than Sealines too. Their drag strengths are about the same with Tekota being a bit smoother. I’ll let you decide if those minor differences are worth the difference in price or not. By the way, I’d pamper Shimanos. I’m not pampering them because of their price. I’m pampering them because they will look absolutely scary after they got enough scratches on them.

As for corrosion resistance, all reels mentioned above did a pretty good job. If you rinse your reel off after each use, they’ll all last a very long time. Less time was required to clean Daiwa Sealines though. If you don’t like cleaning fishing reels after each use, I’d recommend that you consider Newell reels. You only need to toss the whole reel into a bucket full of freshwater, let the reel soak for about an hour and you’re done.
