A few years ago I would agree with that statement but not now! I have found the optimum line and guide layout (and blanks) that allow me to throw 100 yds +. The 250 has been my favorite since it was first produced. I have tried just about everything out there and I will stick with my 250. Concentrate on a good blank, guides and layout along with a good braid.

Bingo, couldn't agree more!

I agree if this reel were going to get wet I would go with a 250 or a zx2-27 it will not be. I am going to stick with the empro for now and consider an upgrade mid season if the weight is an issue.

I truly appreciate all the feed back guys. That is why I like this place. People here fish! They use gear and use it up if it will be used up. I know that if I am in need of opinions on gear people here have used it.

Thanks Again
