Daiwa st 6000t , arguably one of the best fix spool reels out there. Second hand ones go for a lot of money so that tells you a lot . New there £250 , lot of money but quality never comes cheap. was going to mention the shimano tec but chukka beat me to it. Think there a bout £400. and the magnesium one is dearer .
 
I never knew my surfblaster didn't have an auto bailarm closure, as I always close it manually anyway on all my reels.
I also always cast with the handle pointing down (away), because I both cast and reel in using my left hand (weird, I know), so it needs to be well out of the way of my wrist. It doesn't turn by itself during the cast/release in this position.
I get the drop correct (to my liking) by pulling line off the spool against the (always loose) drag, and use a Breakaway Cannon so I don't slice my finger off. :)
