Lurch, off the top of my head:

1 - last a whole season without crapping out (or see #5)
2 - handle braid
3 - must be waterproof
4 - if not waterproof, must not be damaged or loose effectiveness by repeated dunkings
5 - parts must be readily available and service be easily done by me in the event of some sort of unseen failure or issue
6 - infinite anti-reverse

I already broke a VS doing a home repair job and now need to be sent to OK, Daiwas need to be sent to CA to be fixed, and Z's need lots of maintenance to keep going night after night under water.
