My Ripple Fisher 79R, a Stella 10000SW with 16000 SOM spool and either an Orion bigfoot 140 in pink and white or a Cubera 125 in Green Spots
Both easy to cast, easy to use in almost any conditions and relatively easy on the pocket to lose!!

What is the max the reversal is comfortable casting and popping? is it a lot softer than the PF, they look nice! I want one!!!

About 170 is the max, though I find it best from 110-150

Scott, if the selection is limited to one lure, then price wouldn't matter, because once that solitary lure has been wiped out...it's game over. ;)
FWIW, I'd go with:
Rod: Carpenter SP78H
Reel: Stella 10K FA spooled with 100 pound JB (on a 20K spool)
Lure: Home made timber fusilier coloured 100gram stickbait, sinking version (see below)
George Pang:
MH80H
Stella 18K with a standard spool. Haven't a had a good run with aftermarket spools :(
Orion Bigfoot 170 (there is quite simply no substitute)
