Lew's.

Not sure what model it is but it looks like it's made out of plastic. I love mine.

That's the reel I had on the rod I broke last week. I like it too. I have two of them. A guy came around selling them off the floor board of his shitty '92 celica.

If the rightfull owner comes a looking can I charge him for the braid I put on 'em?

Lews speed spool or spend $20 bucks extra and get the Lews Speed spool tourney model. Absolutely Great reels.

Another vote for Lew's here. I hear a lot of good things about them these days. Seem to be the best bang for the buck.

Ive got a Lews my Granddad left me when he died, along with some ambassadeurs. He bought them pre 1980. Casts like a dream.

Spend $50 more and get a Revo SX

As previously said the newer Curados aren't half the reels the old ones were. And the newest Curados have jumped another $100 bucks or so in price.

Bought a Revo SX a couple of months ago and it is the best combination for price/quality out there.
