Do you want another levelwind? And are you going to use mono or braid?

If you want a level wind, you have a few choices if you're going to use braid. Abu 6500, Calcutta 400, Penn 965 or 975, Abu 7000, Calcutta 700 will all work. If you're going to use mono, the choices shrink---Abu 7000, and Calcutta 700 (which is a pretty unwieldly reel to stick on a 10' Arra). The Penn 975 is margainally big enough for 25# mono.

If you don't need a level wind, in adition to those, you have the Newell 200 series (220, 229 and 235 depending on what line capacity you feel you need), and the Daiwa Sealine-X series. Lots of folks feel the Penn Squidder is too slow for poppers these days, but for a lot of years it was everyone's go-to reel for the Canal.
