i fish pike and bass usually and use a shimano callisto for both, great reel for price between 50-65, 6:1 speed... i toss exactly what u mentioned, spoons, and big spnners, also hard jerkbaits... another good reel is the quantuam Icon
3 Bearings | DynaMag | Composite Frame | 5.1:1 Gear Ratio
i bought is at LB's as a combo for 50 or 60 bux
hope this helps
