My wife got me a new old fishing reel for my birthday last week. It is a Shimano Bantam 201 SG left hand level wind I found it on e-bay and she bought it for my birthday. I had read about these reels in STS in a article that Bill Herzog did in 2006 about Kokanee fishing and I'm here to tell you this is the sweetest reel I have ever used for Kokanee it has a anti-reverse button so when you hook up you can press the bottom and now the only drag you have is your thumb. This way when the fish decides to run it can take line and when you want to reel you just grab the handle and reel. You can find them on e-bay just keep your eyes open they have a smaller size 100 that might work just as well.
