you're after drum, huh?
well..........
a lot of folks here can help you out. But you need to provide a little more info.
--Where you live (so we can point you to tackle shops)
--are you looking for conventional reel or spinning?
--where you plan on doing your drum fishing.
To address the last one...for example. Cape Point in Hatteras. You'll need a rig that is able to throw 8 oz of lead. This is more related to the rod than the reel. There are a ton of different rods (custom and factory made) that will do the job. But, you need to match the rod to the reel. I personally prefer Abu Garcia conventional reels. Other's like the Diawa sl30sh. Still others like the new Penn Mags. And then some don't like any conventional reels at all.
Make another post with some more info, and folks here will be happy to help point you in the right direction....
