I'll bite on flatfish reel. I have a penn fierce and it has been a great reel for me. But I wouldn't recomend it for hali fishing. It depends on where you're fishing but I would recomend a small to mid sized conventional. In the bays I use a sealine 20 and several bigger bass style bait casters. Since I always fish halibut in free spool a spinner is a bit awkward. Maybe a liveliner spinner would work butI like to have my thumb in the spool.
