The Shimano Tekota A is a totally redesigned version of the Tekota series of star drag levelwind conventional reels that dutifully continues the legacy of durability that stands tall behind the Tekota name. With this redesign, vast improvements have been made, including CoreProtect technology that resists water to increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), loud clicker, and new ergonomic S-Compact body design. Excellent cross-over reel for both Great Lakes and saltwater fishing.

Tekota 500/600 levelwind reels.

I purchased the 500 Tekota first and liked it so much I went back and purchased the 600. They cast almost as far as my spinning reels, but you have to set the mechanical drag and keep your thumb on the spool.
They are both exceptionally smooth on the retrieve, even with a 10 pound Bowfin on the line. I highly recommend both of these reels. But they are both still new. I don't even have one season on them yet.
