[QUOTE="Allen, post: 36272, member: 389"] I guess I own too many reels that are in constant use by 8 - 11 year olds to even think of buying Stradics, etc. I tend to buy lower end reels and run them until the bail falls off, lower end as in the $25 to $65 range. In that category, the Shimano's were good reels until about 7-8 yrs ago. Then I started having a lot of trouble with the bails on them. I switched over to some $25 Mitchell reels and had pretty good luck (2-4 yrs of hard service) with them and still have a few that are approaching 6 yrs old. As of late I have been going more and more to the Pflueger offerings in the President line, so far I have no complaints. I guess in my world, I'd rather take quantity over quality for the time being. Kids are tough on fishing gear, as am I, and neither of us have time for reel maintenance. [/QUOTE]
