I am looking to purchase a reel that will best fit these two Lamis that I have: XSRA 1322 1-5oz, XS9MHS 1-3oz. I would like to use 30# fireline, do I have to use mono backing?

The reels that I have settled on are the Mitchell/Nautil 6500 or 7500 or one of the TICAs. I like the $150 price range. This reel wuld be getting dunked a lot since I am a clutz.

Any advice would be much appriciated
thanks

Well if your tossing just bait the 7500
will do just fine but if you plan on using lures it would be overkill I think.
I would go with the Tica as my first choice and the Mitchel as my 2nd choice.
Very good reels but expensive.
Also penn 704z is a very good reel for
$66 to $72 price range. You can definetly use it for both applications of Lures & Bait.
The Tica and mitchel definetly have more bells & whistles than the Penn
But 704z reels are a workhorse of a reel and can find parts anywhere.

all those reels are good but my first choice would be 704z then tica (6000) taurus last the penn7500 because of the weight. and yes you need backed if your going to use fireline etc.
