Looking to replace a pair of my reels. I am currently running charter special 2000s on two of my boat rods, really dont like the small case , but really like the combo of TLD and levelwind. (do they make larger reelcased levelwinds?) Is there another reel on the market similar to the charterspecial with a wider body? I dont realy want to step up to TLD 30's , but they are on my list of options. I know these arent levelwinds, but again, if I have to sacrifice TLD function or levelwind, Id rather stick with the TLD.
I am not opposed to switching brands (penn GLD?) or others
Please post pics (can be stock photos) for comparison thanks!

"Pro Challenger" makes such a reel. They were available in Australia... not sure if they were made there, or only distributed there, or even if they're still around. They seemed to be nice all aluminum reels.
