The 706 is my workhorse of choice..
I have about 7 of em.One left in the box In new condition.as they have decided not to make em anymore.Not the first time i heard that.
Perhaps a newer version is on the way..I have heard rumors but they are just that till i can hold one in my hands.but the neww ss series with the anti reverse bearing has me hoping..

wow, nicely written Mike P!

I 've been using mine for 34 years and it is still going strong!

Nice read. Might have to take Slammer off and tape on the 706z for the weekend.

that is a good read, I love my green 706 I don't fish it to often any more since getting my vs, yet there is a feeling I get when I bring that old workhorse out.I remember when I got it from a friend he told me if it's not making noise its not working!best reel for the money hands down.

All of those articles are good. Better than many in the fishing mags.

My favorite reel bar none, great read as always
