I like penn and daiwwa spinning reels and shimano bait casters. I too threw an ambassador growing up, but I’d always go with saltwater stuff though for those trips to the beach and better internal parts.
Edited to say…. I believe it’s “ford, Chevy, dodge, Toyota”. Whatever somebody has is what they’re gonna recommend. May get a lemon on low end stuff with any of them, but most are created equal until you get into higher end stuff.
