What are you going to be fishing for with it? Based on the line, i'm guessing bass right?
I'm not a big fan of spinning reels, unless it's a neccessity, like tossing super light tackle or chunking for larger fish offshore in the ocean. But, I bought my son a Penn Spinning reel. (i'm not sure of the model, i'll find out and post it soon) But I put 10lb Stren Super Braid on it and he's caught everything from large mouth bass to atlantic spadefish on it. It's tough and really smooth. Even after being in the saltwater, it's just as smooth as can be. It's small enough to use bass fishing and large enough to tackle big carp and things with as well. Personally, I use a Quantum Xtra-lite spinning reel for my light freshwater applications. I keep it lubed up quite often, and i've never had a problem out of it. It's silky smooth and holds quite a bit of 10lb braid. I've even caught 8 lb channel catfish on this little thing just screwing around. An Ugly Stix Ultra lite rod makes a smart match, that's whats on mine. Perfect combo with the Stren line.
