Never take a knife to a gunfight. With few exceptions, you are sacrificing both speed and drag strength by using spinning gear. Don't give up on conventional gear. With practice (and the right set-up) you can be tossing pinheads adeptly, and air-mailing everyone else when you have decent sized bait.

If you are intent on crankin' a coffee-grinder, for 25# and up, Penn's 9500SS is the way to go.
For 15#-25#, the Shimano Baitrunner 6500, or Thunnus
For 12#-15#, the Shimano Baitrunner 3500, or Penn's Slammer, or Slammer live-liner.

I'm sure that many other quality spinning reels are out there (Fin-Nor, Van Stahl, etc.), but these are the ones I know.

I'm just sayin'........
