Thanks guys, Bill B. and I both bought Nautil 6500 last spring had have had serious problems with the drag. So serious we had new ones given to us by the supplier and then this fall after we both had problems so again they gave us the PRO (yellow). I don't have a report on the PRO yet because Igot it at the end of the season. In all fairness I should say that the supplier I dealt with stood behind the reel 100% and gave us great service. I also don't like the way the bail sticks and you really have to crank it over (brand new). When the reel was working I liked it alot. But to buy another Nautil I don't think so with all the problems we had. The reels don't realy get dunked all the time but occassionally you might have a wave break on you. The VS are nice but from what I read you have to get them factory serviced every year? I not sure what that cost is but I'm sure it is not cheap. Well at least I have some time to decide before next season comes.
