1. Quantum Smoke SL25PTI

The construction of the Smoke spinner uses a proprietary long-strand carbon-infused composite. The compact, 7.6-ounce reel has amazing component stiffness due to this extra-stout material; its aluminum frame remains rigid even under the harshest torque. The multi-stack drag can muster 16 pounds of fish-stopping power.

A fat, comfortable EVA knob, oversize drag knob, attractive matte paint job, and stealth graphics round out the top reel in the spinning field.

2. Shakespeare Contender CONT-30

 This feisty 30-series econo-spinner shocked our entire test team with its sturdy design and fish-fighting performance. While somewhat heavy (8.4 ounces), it's ruggedly built, with a composite frame and rotor. An oversized line roller ably manages both mono and braid.

As you would imagine, given the price, we did find a few flaws. The crank knob is a little sloppy, and the drag has a limited range. All in all, though, this reel impressed on many levels.

3. Lew’s Speed Spool TSS4000

Featuring a carbon-fiber body and rotor, the Speed Spool holds an incredible 340 yards of 10-pound-test, and comes with a spool arbor to reduce capacity when using braid.

All the components on this reel are beefy. The 4.2:1 retrieve ratio inhales line at 33 inches per turn, thanks to the large-diameter spool. The TSS4000 is a bit chubby at 9.9 ounces, due mainly to the heftiness of construction. The large directional knob is egg-shaped and was not universally loved by our panel.

4. Shimano Stradic 1000FJ

The Stradic delivered smoothness during the cast due to a proprietary spool lip that feathers line seemingly friction-free. The retrieve is Shimano-slick, thanks in part to five ball bearings.

A cold-forged drive gear and brass pinion gear keep the reel turning without binding under the heaviest of loads.

A 6.0:1 retrieve ratio is fast for a 30-series, and the drag was the best in the field, performing flawlessly under punishing use.

5. Abu Garcia Orra SX 30

The SX 30 is a workhorse. Eight main drive bearings and one roller bearing deliver a smooth retrieve. At 9.7 ounces, the Orra is a bit heavy; however, a massive brass drive gear offers unmatched durability.

The Orra comes with two spools. The factory spool is machined to accept braid (125 yards of 10-pound-test). The second spool has a custom tapered lip designed to perform best with mono and fluoro.

With a 5.8:1 retrieve ratio, the SX 30 is powerful and well suited for finesse techniques.

6. Daiwa Ballistic 2500SH

A corrosion-proof carbon-based frame anchors the Ballistic 25000H, and innovation abounds on the 8.3-ounce offering. In addition to the Air Rotor, a hollow bail reduces weight and trips cleanly and crisply.

Linked to a stout gearbox, the Ballistic has a speedy 6.01:1 ratio, gobbling up 35 inches of line per crank. A sealed waterproof drag keeps the discs dry and fade-free. Two bearings keep the drag washers in perfect alignment, virtually eliminating disc binding.

7. WaveSpin DH3000Z

The premise behind the unique spool design is reduced friction during casts as line skips from peak to peak. The advertised result is longer casts and no tangles. While we weren’t able to make noticeably longer casts, line remained tangle-free during our test.

Features include a graphite frame, eight bearings, and the best bail in the field. The drag has a large range and a great feel when fighting big fish. The two-year unconditional replacement warranty is noteworthy.
