I have a Spheros 6000FB and use it early in the season. It's been dunked and dropped in the sand by mistake and I've never had a problem with it after a quick fresh water rinse. It's landed plenty of good size fish and I've never had a problem with the drag or felt like I was overmatched at all. I'm looking to pick up an 8000FB this winter as another extra backup to a ZB.
I've never used the Diawa, but OD Mike has one and I've seen him cast a mile and catch a bunch of fish with it. It seems really smooth, too. If I don't go with another Spheros, I'll probably look into the Emblem Pro as the extra backup.
