I have both the 150 and 200. The 200 is old style and 150 is older with waterproof drag and internal counter balance. They do not change the shafts unless you request it, although I always state "do not repair beyond $36.95 without consent"

My 200 has original shaft and it works fine I sent it in earlier this year and it came back with a bag of old parts, no extra charge, but still old version. The 150 had problems with the original stainless shaft becoming loose. At first they replaced the shaft sleeve and last year they replaced the shaft with one of the gold Ti-Ni shafts both times no charge.

They are great reels but are a P.I.T.A to maintain.
