Affinity 1000 is a great little reel and worth about $120 by memory. Or shimano make a sendna or sienna and daiwa make a regal etc. If your only running 2lb the reel doent  have to be flash. $300 will get you a pretty sweet reel.......daiwa sol, shimano stradic and the list goes on.

Personally, the Twinpower for me. I've a few in the set and love them and well worth the $$$ compared to the Sustain.
