Ahem... Uhh, don't think so, but I guess its OK to have your favorites (whatsa wind knot?)
I like my Stradic 4K a lot but I'm looking for something that will takes some abuse, more capacity and is a little better "wet" reel. Unless Zebco is kind enough to forward a VS for long term testing or I come across a cheaper Nautil, I'm not going to drop baitrunner weight or Stradic coin on a part time reel. I have 2 many Calcuttas and 6500 Abus to continue to use and abuse. I'm also on the fence about buying another Shimano product. As much as I really like alot of their stuff I REALLY HATE their price fixing and it has probably already stopped me from buying more of their stuff, including Loomis, on principle.
Now getting back to the topic of fixing up my extra super clean 6500SS or going with a 704/6Z
