Rock Lizard:

Just spend the "bucks" for a Shimano Curado....just fish, don't have to worry about things falling apart or sticking. Have 2 Left hand models, they have been with me for "many yrs.", have never had any problems. Use them for summer/winter steelhead, silvers, kings, dogs, and even fish jacks with them. Granted, I have a small jet boat and can chase a fish but the reels have come thur time and time again...

"Worse day sport fishing, still better than the best day working"

PS.....I have a Abu Garcia XLT Plus LH...still in the orignal box with extra spool......but that's where its been since I bought the Curado's.....
