I use a spheros 5000 and love it (30 pound power pro braid- not an issue so far, but we'll find out when I change braid this winter). It has not been seriously abused, but used/splashed for two full seasons now with just a wash with fresh water, then back in the trunk for the next time.
Alright, on a side note, I am looking to get a 4000 class reel for some early season/late season fishing...(I do not want to jump on someone elses thread, so i can start a new one, please let me know).
Is there a difference in spool size from the spheros to the new stadic at this level? If they are both "waterproof," then is the stradic worth the extra $50?
I am looking for the largest spool- to allow the 10-15 pound braid to come off easily (less wind knots).
Thanks you all for your help!
Chris
