Thanks for the suggestion. I have decided to keep my cost down and decided to go with the Johnny Morris Signature Series Baitcast Reel. I went and looked at it and it is normally $179 but is onsale online for $134. I was able to get the sale price at the store by taking in a copy of the web page. It actually has 10 bearing but has the 7.0:1 ratio that I was looking for. And I really liked the feel and design of it.
