Has anyone seen or used these reels. I am looking at retiring my "Old Faithfull" Penn Applause 2000. Don't know whether to go with a Straduc or one of these from Cabelas. I'm looking at the 2000 size model PTi-A.

I have seen and used bayfishers Quatum which is the model below and thought it probably beat the Stradics etc for strength and smoothness after a couple of years use.

Cheers

Neil
