I can't say enough good things about the Shimano Spheros.I've had the 8000 for two seasons without a hint of a problem.Best reel out there in its price range IMO.

I have had a cabo 50 since the spring that I bought at m&d's.This has happened maybe twice the first week I had it,but only when trying to over throw.The reel is affordable quality,I absolutely love it.Also before casting I make sure I don't go past the rod with the line roller.I keep it just before the rod as oposed to straight up.the bail isn't weak it's magnetic(no spring) so it will never fail.My 2 centavos

The reel is pretty nice for the price. The drag is like buttery smooth, not too heavy, works braid nicely. I give it a 9 outa 10.

Got two each Boca Pt 60 and 40's. I have to say, I feel they are good reels. The issue with the bail closing I have not experienced. All of these reels get used alot by myself and clients
The only negative I can mention and this is not a function of the reel, when I purchased these reels I was told if there were any issues at all in the first year of use, they would be replaced. No questions asked. A new reel would be taken off the shelf. So as the story goes, a client slipped and used the bail to grab and broke the bail. Its been over four weeks since I returned the reel. I'm not sure what the issue is. To be fair about the whole thing, it was due to an accident.
The graphite bail is advertised to be more flexible than a metal bail. Not sure how this will hold up over time.
The drag is great, I'm told it is sealed. Its certaily smooth. All four of these reels get a constant soaking of water on the boat. Never once had the drag slip.
As for making a decision for the Boca over the Cabo, its a matter of bucks. I was told the Cabo had some better metalurgy, the basic reels are similar.
