for shooting buoys i like finger spools
buoys ...... the larger it is the deeper you need to be to deploy it,,,, and the faster you need to fill it to stay at depth
reels.... its what ever fits comfortable in your hand. some can use reels with handles on top some need handles on the side. if you wear gloves usually the side held are more difficult. In warm water I like side held reels.
reels. dont over fill them,, morel line is not always better,, 2/3 full is plenty to avoid backlashing and knotting up. before you get wet ,,,tie your reel off to a tree and deploy aout 50-100 ft and reel it back in so you have a fresh wind. Use quality line and not mason line. use braded line and not twisted line.
good luck
