Junk

OK, maybe junk is a little strong, but if you use it in big water and/or on big fish, you'll burn it out in a single season. The cheaper Ticas are decent buys for the money, but only on schoolie tackle.

Better buy is a Stradic 6000 or 8000 at a little more than half the price of the Taurus. They now have all metal housings and are just as smooth as the Taurus with only half the bearings. The 8000 has the same capacity as the bigger Taurus. Worth the trip to M&Ds.
