When I got home and contacted the folks at Pure Fishing they told me that they would send me a Nautil Yellow 6500 in exchange for my 6500gv. Maybe that particular model had some problems in some units and they feel that the Yellow Nautil was a better model. Great customer service and I feel a great reel. Looking forward to receiving my yellow this week.

Welcome to S-B
Interesting dredge from a few years ago. The black 6500 wore out on me in a year and another shortly after. The Yellow 6500 I've gotten a lot of miles out of - good for what it is, a cheap (compared to other) waterprooof reels.
