I have one of these and they are very nice reels. Sure it doesn't have the big Shimano or Diawa name on it but it is very smooth, and handles well. This is what I use for this application. However I have the 4000 in the picture they are showing the 2000.

Personally I love Shimano. They make a great product and have amazing customer service. Check out the Cardiff series. For an even better reel (more money), check out the Curado's. Curados have amazing drags and cast like a deam. I've used mine for fishing for yellows and I know a lady who landed a 30lb yellow with one, and didn't need to replace the drags. I know I treat my gear like crap and the Shimanos hold up. If you get a 300 series you'll have a reel versatile enough for 6lb or even 20lb if you back with spectra.
