Here's my list of what I reckon are some top trolling reels if money isn't really an issue. Max size of reels is 50W as anything more than that is an overkill here in Malta in my option.

Have I missed any out? If they have a high gear ratio I've left them out as they are not considered to be trolling reels, but whilst they can also be used for trolling, reels with a high gear ratio are aimed more at deep jigging and bottom fishing etc.
