Fishers, you might watch the Silver Max reels. I really like the feel of the Max series. I have one Black max (older one with flipping switch) and one Silver Max. The Silver Max thumbar has recently been sticking in the flipping mode. I goggled it and found that has been a consistent problem with them. So far, my Black Max is okay. The Silver Max works fine when the flipping switch is not engaged but I keep mine on all the time. It's gonna go in a garage sale coming up.

I decided to order 2 of the Huckabee Pulling Rods and I have 2 older Quantum Accurist reels waiting on them. I was going to go with the Silver Max until reading about the flipping switch thumbar problems. I hope yours hold up.
