I've used Okuma, Tekota, Abu Garcia LC's, they all work great. Okuma and Abu are more reasonably priced, Tekota's are more expensive. Abu claims their new Max dlc/toro is more accurate at tracking the line you have out. All other LC's track how many revolutions your spool makes but as your spool gets smaller less line/rev is actually coming off so your LC is not completely accurate. I have not used these reels but would look at them if I were in the market.
