I agree Bob, They have a solid reputation as a leader in the industry, and even though these wobble issues with the Gossa remain a mystery, Shimano has made good on most anyone with an issue, with a new reel. They are excellent reels, and even though I too, can feel "something" with the 6000 SW I have, it is very minor and not a distraction at all. I have caught quite a few fish on it and its performed perfectly.I have to admit that I am a fan of the old Spheros and Gossa reels too, but change is imminent, and although not always what we want, co.'s like Shimano are always striving to bring us something better.
