Overhead - TN16N Trinidad
That would fit in the budget and is a beaut reel - bouttime has one if you wanted any better info, but having fished with him it seems perfect for Driftbaiting, bottom bouncing and trolling. Would easily handle a big sambo if one happened to come along as well. Saw Steve knock over a BIG ray that he had tail hooked (would have been 1.5+m across and the reel didn't miss a beat)Steve did though.
For spin, most people will say SPheros but I have never used one so can't comment. Twinpower 6000 is pretty good though and I think similar in price.

Good choice Simon
I wouldn't mind one of those Trinidads. They look great.

I've been using a Torium 16
I've been using a Torium 16 on a t-curve 200 for a couple of years now and it has been brilliant. Running 50lb xds braid. Nice and light. Trolled with it as well, just need a mono wind on. Should fit the budget well.
Cheers Mick
