King, although the 9500 is huge and bulky I have 4 6500's and love them I have never had a single problem with them. I also have some 704z's and they are great buy them now before they move out of the country

i switched from a penn 5500 which i have used for years to the spheros 6000...so far so good...much smoother...much less hassle and maintenance....i would recommend it!

I have always heard good thing about the Penn Slammers, and the Shimano Stradics. Any thoughts on those?
