The most common
Used ones are the daiwa’s. Like a tanacom or a seaborg. I myself bought a shimano forcemaster 6000 from japan. It came loaded with 700m of pe6 and is a nice compact but tuff unit. The only downside is the lcd display is in Japanese. There is an English translation manual, and to be honest you rarely use half the functions anyway. I paid about $950 incl freight and braid delivered to my door. I would definitely buy the same again, but obviously if you by international you have next to no warranty.
Hope that info helps

so far so good. My old man and wife both love it for fishing in the 70s. I haven't had a chance to use it.

Don't go cheap
Some blokes who camp just up from us at Ningaloo every year were going deeper and deeper, got to where they reckon they needed electric. Burnt it out on the first big shark--whereas the Fin Nor Offshore 9500 spin reels they bought just kept on going. They were only fishing to 150 metres.
