Gadabout...
not questioning your 704 good solid reel, BUT it needs maintenance.....
... put in 100nights a year fishing hard, wet, swimming, dropping your reel, plus work, have a wife etc.. and spending a few hours a week breaking down a reel isnt really doable...
4 seasons fishing my VS250 like that and I have had 1 minor problem...
thats why it is worth it...
