i like garcias and have a decent number of them but shimano is my favorite reel maker especially for spinning so i'm starting to lean toward shimano baitcasters , my favorite Garcia's i own are a pair of 7000 C4 lever drags, they're pretty nasty

Don't forget about the Abu record! I have 1 and it is smother than my rocket by far & I have ceramic bearing in the rocket! never did like ceramic bearings they really dont make anything better... Ceramic bearings are designed to run dry pretty much. If oil/grease is added it can act like a magnet for dirt. This will ruin that bearing in a heart beat. They are also loud compared to a stainless bearing. alot of people will disagree with that but ive seen it happen the only way to keep them running smooth is blowing them out with compressed air. |

huh never knew that,but i dont think i would need those bearings anyway i do fine with my rockets they go out as far as i need them to,i mean how many lakes do we fish that we have to cast 500 feet or more,none the biggest lake i fish is cozy dale,and i have casted clear across the big lake.
