I have a bunch of Shimano TR-200G levelwind reels that I currently use for salmon..They are light , hold a lot of line and have a smooth drag...The Charter Special looks heavier...I had a couple TLD 5 reels and currently use the TLD 25 for halibut, tuna and Mexico fishing. Looking for a lighter reel..Maybe the Penn 965?
