Good saltwater casting reel for around $200.00

My Penn 350 leveline has served me well for both salmon and bottom fish. I love this reel! Bought it at a garage sale for $5. Really, the quality of the old Penn's is very good.

For ling, sturgeon, and halibut I use a 7' 2 piece Ugly Stik Tiger (BWC 2201-2 270).  On it I have an Abu Garcia BG7001HS (I prefer left-hand crank).  You can find them used on eBay.  I own 3.  Abu reels are easy to self-maintain.  I cast it ONCE and NEVER again.    I've used it with leadheads 2-10oz.

For casting, say for those pinks that will be running this year, I have a couple of Berkley Air 8'6" IM8 Xtra Heavy rods (A92-8-6XH) with Abu Ambassadeur 6601C4 reels.  These are not bad all-around rigs.  For the pinks and freshwater I also carry a lighter spinning rig, a Berkley Air IM7 Medium rod (A94-8-6M) with a Shimano Spheros SP4000FA reel.
