mega,
I never had a problem with them, I just find the 113H too be much easier to use, and it has a quicker retrieve, also the drag seems to be improved. The 113H is a super tough proven reel for wireline.

I think the key to keeping the 330GTI working correctly with wire is to have it cleaned and serviced a couple times a season. IMO the levelwind shaft is the weak link on these reels.

BTW: If you need a 330GTI attatched to a nice St. Croix rod, there is one on the bottom of the ocean by the S.E. Light of BI. Last season a passenger had a major brain fart and dropped it over the side when another line went down.
