I say run the poll again and see if the percentages have changed. Companies have been bought and sold and some have changed thier emphasis and some are now made elsewhere.
So lets run it again.

i guess that i as still antiquated about reels. i still use 5500c's. they are just a work horse. just like a timex, they take a lickin' and just keep on ticking. if you were like me and learned to throw a bait caster on an old shakespeare president, and i am talking about the old ones that the reel handle spun around on the cast, all the new fangled braking systems and what not would be meaningless. a very educated thumb solves all the backlash problems.

Bo, keep in mind that at one time the 5500 was the new kid on the block, it had all the bells and buttons and was the reel that all the cool kids wanted. There were probably a group of hardcore cane pole fisherman sitting around saying much the same things you just said. Time marches on.
