Float Fishing Reels for Tench etc?

I rarely fish lakes and most of my river fishing is with centrepins but thinking of float fishing stillwaters on occasions during the river close season.
Up until now I have had a pair of the old Shimano Aero 3500GT baitrunners but I will keep them for legering for tench
What suggestions for a reel (possibly a pair) to go with a 13' rod on water where there are some tench (not huge) , roach and sometimes carp.
I will sometimes use a pin but thinking of getting a fixed spool. Not so worried about price just that it does the job and I will enjoy using it.

Stick with yer ‘pin Mike. Much more fun 😁
 
Thanks for all the advice
Just to say I have purchased one Shimano Stradic 3000 GTM RC and am looking for another at a reasonable price.
Also I have loaded up with new line my Gary Mills/ Fred J. Taylor specialist pin, so they should cover my needs
Thanks again
Mike
