I'm glad I asked, the last thing i need is another junky reel...I was suspicious of the low price. Looks I like i'm going to get the stradic. a bit more $ but i'm more than willing to pay extra for something thats reliabile. I plan on using braid with it too, what pound test do you guy use with it, and how much mono backing do you use.
If capicity is an problem mayby i'll go with the spheros. It's a little less money, and shimano says it holds an extra 35 yards. Only problem is I dont think they have the anit-rust bearings or the 'maintenance port' so I can easily lube the worm gear like you guys said.
Thanks for all the input guys.
