I took a 50 and a 60 to Alaska for 12 days of king fishing and had absolutely no problems landing kings to 28# in the fresh and salt water for 18 hours a day . I had heard there were issues with the bail prematurly closing on the 30 an 40 but not the 50 and 60 . which by the way I should mention that th 30 an 40 are the same reel body with different spools and so is the 50 an 60 . Its interesting to hear yours had different issues .
but maybe I was lucky and got good ones .
