downrigger reels..what to buy?

[lpaulcarter]

I just dug out my copy of "Peetz-a Reel for All Time" and there's a picture in there that shows the 2000 S/S beside a 1950's wooden model. The drag pawl and caliper assemblies are identical, so they must sound the same, too.

I've never had my hands on an Islander, do they sound as good as a Peetz?

Thanks for all the input...I am sticking with the single action reels, bought a shimano 4000 today and I will see how I like it out fishing tomorrow..
