Is there a big difference besides capacity? My 6000 holds over 200 yds of 30# stealth.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Diawa ss2600, it is light holds more than enough line, has a great drag and handles braid great. I have been using them for years.

Shimano Spheros 8000. Hands down my pick.

Penn 710/710z w/ 14 or 20# fireline. You can buy 3 of these under $100.

Spheros 8000 & Daiwa ss2600 would be my other choices.
