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.
