Be careful with Spirex! My bud has box with 5 reels, most all with broken shafts. There parts reels now for the one remaining that is still running. The shafts break because of what Ryan said. They slam back hard. He switched to Semetry's and no problems since! There not the same reel! There much smoother!!! The Spirex has a double handle that also seems to slow the retrieve. Just wasent impressed. Try a Semetry or Stradic and feel the difference.
