I'll have to vote for the Spheros (8000)- going on 3rd season. Reason I went with it was the waterproof drag like on the baitrunners. Bail locks into position and won't snap shut when casting - never lost a plug yet (this really has to do fluid you are with your swing - that extra wrist snap typically is fatal). My only beef is that it doesn't come with an extra aluminum spool like the Stradic does.
Now many of the Shimano line incorporated the ARB bearing feature all the way down to the Sedona. That is a big PLUS. The Sedona line is a very respectable reel for very reasonable $ and is close to HALF of the Spheros. Fisher people on a budget should check them out the Sedona line.
You guys like that big ball on the knob or no?? I like the old barrel style handles they use to use on the A series Baitrunners more so than the flatter semi-rubbery ones they use now on the BR & Spheros.
