Started fishing an emblem pro 5500 this year and love it! Casts a mile and fit 360 yards of 50 lb PP on it...goes great with my arra 1322-2. The only down side was the damn bail swinging around and snapping shut on "agressive" casts. I cut the bail off...weighted the opposite side of the arm to keep the retrieve smooth and the reel is a dream now. A bailess version of this reel would be perfect...but this new manual bail model might be a good next step.
