Best Palming Reel?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

The t3 gear/handle geometry is awesome. Makes it ultra low profile. I think it was made to fit an ACS reel seat. Surprising they don't implement that in other reels.

I use both Daiwas and Shimanos and think the Shimano's 50E series is the most comfortable, palming reel. My CH50E had a little nice curve in the front that allows my pointer finger to grip the reel.
