Fishsmith,
if your corsair crapped out on you send it back to them with a brief explanation. You dont even really need a note. I sent two back, one two years ago and they upgraded me to the gold one. That one crapped last fall, sent it back to them and they replaced it with a corvallus, they say its an impovement, im not really sure if is or not but its a new reel. They are great at replacing reels. I use the corcallus for freshwater bass and for throwing lighter stuff in the salt. Have the abu 7000 for the canal and have used the corsair there too. Its a throw away reel but since ya just send it back for a new one its not quite a throw away.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I understand what T-man is tryin to say.He likes to lay the line on by hand because the level wind does not overlay the braid well.in other words on the retrieve he moves his guide thumb back an forth much faster creating a wide crisscross pattern that helps to keep the line from diggin way into the spool when tryin to free a stuck jig. If I was gonna trow lures in excess of 1 oz I would use my 7000/7500 BG ABU's wit the level wind smaller lures get the trophy 6500 or a BG 6500.I also have a few 7700 morums that I will punish when in need of a stronger reel.there not as good casting but the one piece frame is a tourqe monster also no longer made.I use any thing from 50- 80 lb braids or 25-50 lb mono depends on what an where's.
