I have two broken ones in the garage.... both stopped working shortly after purchasing, never felt an urge to get them fixed as i didn't like them much to begin with....

Those are great reels. I own 6. Never had a handle seize though. But I also took them apart to clean them every 2-4 weeks during the season... now I fish VS's (I said I never would)... I'll never go back.

Yes...but the Spheros is a better reel.Maybe not as baby smooth but oh such more durable and reliable.I have a 1st year production model 8000 that still is awesome.
BTW the Spheros is made in Malaysia if that means anything.
Quantum Boca is a great choice too. |
