Hey Steve left ya message, knee sounds as bad as I thought.

Nope, still have Grandad's reels that I still keep rigged, you know me. Just want to try soemthing different, I tried a 6500 and thought it was a super nice reel. I wanted the control of the AB to develop technique.

I bend a lttile to the pressure to buy the smooooothest, most ball bearingest, stuff just to see, but you know Ill never throw away my Johnsons.

I have caught more damn fish on those reels than can be imagined and light test to boot.

CAll when you can

Paul
