These are My favorite fishing reels for lake fishing.

I use a Daiwa GS-1 light medium spinning reel for lake and boating fishing, because it has a smoother drag to play the fish, and the spool is machined made; and was one of the first multi-ball bearing reels, made. I can catch almost all the big fish that get hooked with this reel. The drag can be set almost as strong the line is, and the line doesn't break. I use heavier fishing line with this reel, so I usually use low visibility fishing line.

I like to use a Ryobi AX123 medium heavy spinning reel that is a fresh light saltwater fishing reel for lake fishing, because it is light weight alloy, but has an adjustable bail release with a ceramic anti line twist roller; a fast retrieve, and is lighter weight than the other fishing reels so the match with regular lake rods; so I can catch more fish. When I change from spinners to float fishing I sometimes use a tied on leader line that is as long as the floats line length, when I am not using a smaller spinning reel. I use a ball bearing swivel, so the line doesn't get twisted. When I fish with live nite crawlers, I sometimes add a stinger hook for fishing. I usually use medium fishing line with this spinning reel, and I use high visibility fluorescent fishing line.
