I got an Okuma 265 spinning reel , it's the only spinning reel I use any more since I started using baitcasters, the clicker isn't as loud as some of the baitcasters but I like the features of it , like the fighting drag is set when ya click the bar on the back it's ready for fighting the fish , you can also adjust the tension of line pulling out in free spool .

Yes..they use them for Mekongs and Wels in other parts of the world.
