LOL... Actually it's pretty cheezy: an old Kencor levelwind. You can get these reels for about ten bucks on ebay. The good part is they are all stainless so they have zero corrosion issues, and have strong gears, but the sideplate plastic is brittle, and the drag is tiny and actually made with a leather drag washer. They work well for what I use them for, but I wouldn't want to fish them for anything other then maybe rockfish.
