I use shimano DL 4000 FA Baitrunner reels for all my barbel fishing, I have 3 of them and they are fantastic reels. These are paired with Peregrine GTX 1.75 & 1.5 t/c rods and feel well balanced and have plenty of power for all of my fishing.
Would absolutely recommend Shimano reels....pure quality

I've got a pair of Free Spirit Hi-S in 1.75 and I've got Shimano GTEb and c on them they work great together.
I did once use a Torrex 1.75 with a Fox Stratos and they felt awfull together. I could'nt put my finger on what was wrong with the set up but I used it about six times and got rid of both. I was only using a two once lead but between them they seemed to struggle to fetch it in.
