Where do you live B-tosser, I have two G-5's but could always use another. I will also vouch for the near invincibility of the Ross Gunnison series. Hundreds of steelies and coho and chum caught on one of mine, not one issue with drag, although I finally had the handle fall off last year, I had worked the screw loose over the years, and had neglected maintenence. I can't say enough about Ross quality.
