I think in today's market (2021 - 2022) the Shimano SLX, SLX-XT are very hard to beat. Just excellent, excellent reels for their price point. Funny story, I got a chance to throw a Abu Max bait casting reel this weekend and was really surprised how good it was. Easy to dial in and decent casting distance, just not as smooth and tight as a SLX, but almost half the price.
