Only drawback to them is the bail spring fails after a couple of years. 2 lb. test is the bomb on them.
ya know there are so many different brands we can't possibly try them all. I have a Daiwa low profile casting reel and like it really well. I very pro ABU casting but have several other brands I like and for spinning about all I do is UL and until this small Ocuma I got and Ocums UL rod, I've never found an UL reel that could match that old Mitchell 308. Personal thing, I only know what I know. Gonna look that Daiwa UL up and check it out. I have my prejudices but like to think I'm not blinded by them! thanks!
