Maybe I am the only one who didn't realize it, but those levelwind trolling/casting reels with a linecounter built into them can be cast. I recently purchased two Daiwa line counting reels, (one for trolling and the larger one I hoped could be used for sturgeon). I took them both to the city park and the smaller one with 14 pound mono line on it and 4 ounces of lead, and the larger reel with 50 pound Berkley Big Game mono on it and 8 ounces of lead cast easily (200 feet and 150 feet respectively). I also really like the feel of those reels.
