Im new to ocean fishing and i would like to have a nice left handed reel for myself instead of renting one for insane amount of price. I need something like the Shimano Ocea but cheaper. :) can anyone help me or guide me to the right path?

Okay, since no one has asked you yet, what is your budget? I don't want to recommend you a reel that is not ideal if your budget is flexible.

X2! The cost of a nice real is not expensive. You purchase a nice reel and take care of it and it will last you around 50 years. Purchase a well made reel and you will forget about the price when you get to enjoy your reel while fishing. Most reels become junk beause folks do not take care of their reels and let it turn to crap. IMHO

thanks jig-guy!! will do!

Here's another crazy question I have and hopefully someone can answer this.

Fishing on a boat or charter boat, would you want? a reel that has power(5:1) but holds(20/120) spool or would you rather have speed(7:1) but holds(20/190) spool?

The fish Im targeting for is all bass(fresh and salt)/salmon/hali and etc
