I have a 5000 loaded with Power Pro. I love it. It has worked flawlessly paired with a 8' Tica and the price was right(thanks to MikeCC for that). No complaints whatsoever. But it is mainly for the boat and does not get dunked. I picked up the smaller 4000 for a lite setup and seem to have worn it out in one season. Bent shaft or warn gears? Not sure. Not near as smooth as it started. Doesn't seem to have the guts of the larger models.
