Thinking about purchasing one of these and wondered what the experts had to say. Any thoughts on how dependable and durable these reels are?

I have both a 6500 and a 7500 and while the 7500 still sits in the box waiting for me to get my **s in gear and finish up my 1209, the 6500 has seen two full seasons of action without a problem!

Nice reels and right now you can score one for less than $100 brand new on a very well known auction site!
