Ditto on the Shimmanos!! Great reels! I have a 6500, 6500B and a 4500B. spend the extra 20-30 bucks and buy the "B" instead of a leftover "A". I also have 2 of the Okuma EB65's they are definately very smooth and the handle is great...BUT.... one of them has been having trouble going into normal mode when you begin reeling in. The big problem is that you can't manually flip the lever when this happens. I am going to send it back. I have heard Okuma has great customer service, I hope to find out for myself.
