Kevin,

Interested on your recs for a reel used for my spinner blade setup. For cowgirls, super models, etc. I like to stick with shimano but dont mind trying something different. Do reels with the power handle seem to help? Any low profile baitcasters that you like?

You can put a power handle on a TE. You have to make sure it is countersunk so the nut has enough thread to grab. I have heard the new Shimano LJV is an incredible reel as well.
I have used the low pro Toros and have had terrible luck with them. I would recommend staying away from them. The Shimano Curado 300 EJ is new this year and would be the reel to get if you are interested in a low pro. Here's a link that shows the EJ:
