Gamehog, I bought a corsiar back in december and also had problems, they let me upgrade to the curado and it turned out to be one of the best drift fishing reels I ever owned. Also thanks to everyone who responded to my Question on plug reels. I ended up going with the 5500's. I just got them through Cabelas a couple of weeks ago, and I never heard about a rebate.Gamehog, e-mail me if you can and let me know how to go about getting my rebate. I bought two so any money back helps, thanks Mac.
