Quantum Accurist ACS PT. Cabela's sells it at $99.95.
Quantum Accurist PT Series Reel
Five polymer/stainless hybrid high-speed bearings ensure the smoothest operation along with longer-lasting durability. A ceramic level wind worm shaft and a Zirconia level wind pawl reduce wear and noise. Large ceramic drag washers improve performance and quickly dissipate damaging heat. CNC-machined brass alloy gears are the hardest and most durable in the industry. HotSauce™ molecular lubrication takes the already silky smooth operation of this reel and makes it even smoother. ACSII™ cast control adjusts externally for advanced, centrifugal casting control. Continuous Anti Reverse™ prevents busted knuckles when big fish make those super-hard runs. Flippin' switch. Quick-release bayonet side cover for easy acess to spool. Thumb bar spool release. Lightweight machined aluminum spool. Ultra-low profile design.
The one I own is a Shimano Curado. I bought it out of a pawn shop. I got it like new for $25 because the guy that brought it in couldn't fish a left handed model. I hold/cast the rod in my strong arm (right), and reel with my left, so a left handed model is perfect for me. Something to think about when you are ordering.
I'm sure you will get better information from the pro's around here. I'm not a pro, I just know what I like. I still can't cast these things without creating a new home for baby birds. I use mine mainly for jigging.
