Been using the 150,250, & 275 for years. The 150 & 250 I got a year or two after they came out. The 150 gets used a lot, underwater half the time. Sent them back once about 10 years ago all they needed was routine servicing. Still bulletproof and silky smooth. After each trip it's a wash and spray with wd40 , back of the drag. Why fix what ain't broke.

Btw ,they cast fine regardless of the line lay.
