I think our discussion about what constitues a good value in a reel has been interesting to say the least. I learned things about marketing that I didn't know. As with any conversation, one solution won't suit everyones needs or opinions. I think Keith and I will continue to stand by the reel as a great value that is capable of performing well for a long time. I have used mine hard for two years with no problems and lots of big fish on it, but I digress. If nothing else, a lot different reels were mentioned at different price ranges. Certainly I have a few new names to investigate. Mike
