I guess your reel performance all depends on how you take care of it. If you're getting sandy, then rinse, re-grease, re-oil, repeat, and anything you own will work fine. You just gotta get anal about your equipment...don't set it down in the sand.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
