VanZebco, hahahahaha, you are all brainwashed!!!!!!!!!!! It might be built well (except for the fact they are not at all smooth) but it is in no way shape or form on God's green earth what you pay for them. That reel should go 250.00 tops and even then there are alternatives.
As for a VanZebco conventional, I just bought a Tekota yesterday that is as fine as any out there. Stripers are not very good fighters and many many many have been hauled out of Elizabeth Island rocks with $55.00 Shimano Trident 100 and 200s. One of my 100s is 18 years old and except for one ball bearing change and drag washers each year, it's still hauling them. Some people give bass way to much credit. I love them but I except the reality.
