I have 11 shimano reels, I have 7- 6500's, 2-4500's, and 2-3500's. I have never had a problem with any of them and some I've had for about 8-9 years. I have braid on all my 6500's and on one of my 3500's, the rest have mono. These reels are great for tossing braid or mono - never had a birds nest from any of them.

I have so many because they are great reels but I also own some Penns and Daiwa's too which are also top notch reels, I have 31 fishing poles and my wife says I'm a little insane about collecting rods and reels but I say you can never have enough of a good thing.

I gave up drinking about 10 years ago and since I don't spend the money on that anymore, now my vice is fishing, whether its rods and reels, tackle or something for my new boat that's the direction I took and I'm alot happier now for it. Whenever I take 5 or 6 guys out on my boat it's alot easier for them to just bring a lunch and not have to worry about gear, I supply it all. I just want them to enjoy what the water has to offer and the Shimano reels can be handled gently or rough and they hold up just fine to me.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
