hi mate
i heard that the shimano spheros are real work horses and are only 185 bucks
or you could go saragosa and their 279 dollars at DohDohDohDohDohDohDohDoh. hope this helps.

gosa 8000
tried, tested, bulletproof
I've got some decent pelagics on mine to about 13 kilos, could handle fish bigger easy

I've got an immaculate Shimano TSS -4 Speedmaster for sale for $180 + post if you are interested. They have high speed gearing for popping and are almost bullet proof. Would also be very good for pelagics and kings. PM me if you are interested.
