| I think a good option would be the lower geared beast 60 4.9:1 gears and 27 IPT line recovery it's faster than normal with gears lower than Norman and if you added a power handle (if available) that would give you more power for big blades |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | The question is do you want to burn 10's or have a reel that makes 10's easier to retrieve, at the end of the day the only reel that really accomplishes both is the Tranx. If you are willing to accept working harder but being able to burn, then you can get a higher speed reel, if you are willing to accept a slower retrieve but being able to bring big blades in easier, you go with a lower gear reel. And don't get me wrong, I like the Saltist, I have one and I call it the poor mans Tranx, but it's not was easy as the Tranx and it doesn't have a spool brake, which really keeps me from using it for blades a lot. |

| I'd imagine Nacl 61 5.4:1 can be had fairly cheaply if you look around. I found mine under $200 a couple years ago and now it's discontinued. Been a great reel for me, holds up well and a nice medium speed in my opinion. Pulls pretty nice with the power handle. |
