i bought the eon 3600 last year, i was told to stay away from it because of quality issues but it is still going strong, it works great for summer steel and silvers in the river. for the winter i will switch to my 5500c3 for chums in the salt.
shimanos are nice reels, but abu's have lasted much longer on my rods.
