I don't think that the 6500ss is a bad reel for people who fish occasionally. I have the manual conversion kit for mine but I have never put it on because I let friends use the reel. The kit I have does not have and oversized roller.

I think that the 706z is the best reel that I own. I never understood why someone would choose the 704z, converted to manual pickup, over a 706z. The 706z is lighter and holds more line. I don't buy that because the 706 spool's diameter is larger than the 704's that it will affect casting distance significantly.
