Can anyone recomend a half decent fixed spool reel for spinning over reef from a boat?

bought 2 of these Daiwa's recently, very happy with them, smooth and rock solid:

Have one since 18 years
never has let me down, no matter if fished in fresh or salt-water. 
Tight Lines.

shimano if you intend casting much lead or big lures go for a front drag as they lock down better the rear drag is ok up to 3 oz but slips if put under serious pressure

Okuma are making fantastically great f/s reels, for the price of them.

I use the Penn Surfmaster for gilling from the boat. It can put up with a bit of punishment.
For ordinary spinning for bass I use both a Shimano and Okuma. Both are excellent.
