Nope.....either vintage Ambassadeurs or Calcuttas. Too much plastic in the newer reels and parts for Ambassadeurs can still be found here in the Portland area. I recently restored a pair of 5000's that I would put against any reel out there. Sure you can still backlash but the all metal construction of the ABU can't be beat. As far as new reels go the matchless workmanship that can be found in the Calcuttas sold me. The parts have no slop in them and you cna adjust the casting weights to your liking. Anyway just my opinion.
