the small ones are fragile, the larger sizes are a little better. If you got it for your spey/swtich... probably would have gone with something a little heavier to help balance it out better cause they are WAY light.
That all said I have a #2. Kick ass little reel for seasruns in the sound. Love the low up keep on them. like brian said, the drags are the biggest selling point for these reels.
