Okay.. another $0.02 worth... Haven't used any of the new Mitchells or Penn slammers yet, but I do own Fin Nor Ahabs for my spinning reels. Silky smooth drags, (and only 30seconds to replace them), easily maintainable, and the guts to hold a big fish. Have fished them hard and long over the past five years with zero problems. Not the cheapest reel on the block, but a lot cheaper than the VS reels, and I haven't had to spend a dime to replace them. Just my $0.02 for what it is worth.

Then again, you can always come over to the conventional side of the road.. Love my Abu's..
