I'd recommend contacting Jimmy Lambright and getting a custom thumper reel. (Or he can modify a reel for you)

The reel work is highly recommended.

Both are fine reels I would recomend the Muzzy. I have only had one Muzzy reel and it is holding up and shooting very well. I know many people use the 808's and have good luck with them. The last one I had blew up. Before that I mostly used Synergy reels. Most would last about at year, some two years.

I can do a Muzzy for you, the only problem is that I do not get a better price than you do, so I pay the same you do for it. With the Muzzy's I recomend that you get it and send it to me. Honestly I would go with a Zebco 888, They are a little cheaper and we have had real good luck with them. A "Super Thumpertized" 888 is $57.50 to your door, that is a stretched big hole cover, beefed up drag, stainless pick up pins etc.
