Topwater Small/Medium Cranking Deep Cranking Slow Spinnerbait KVD Burning the Spinnerbait Shakyhead Lots of reels are going on sale and I want to make sure a bargain doesn't turn out to be the wrong type of reel. Appreciate the help

KVD Burning the Spinnerbait- 6.0 or better Shakyhead- 6.0 or better. Jim Wolfe Davey Crockett to US Congress upon his resignation- "You all can go to hell, I'm going to Texas".
