Been using a daiwa crosscast spod reel for a couple of years now. Build quality seems ok so far, it's on their 45mm distance spools, 2 line clips, very light as it's plastic, got rid of my emblem spod for it and never looked back.

I heard about the weight a lot before I bought it... but to be honest I don't really notice it at all. I combine it with a FS CTX 12ft Spomb/Marker Rod and it works fine for me. I use the Penn Affinity 3 7000s on my normal rods and I'd imagine they would be perfectly good for a spomb reel if something lighter is needed. And you can get them for around £100 per reel if you shop around. Which is a bargain IMO.
Are you sure?
