Snagged,
That's a great quote. I think the big problem here is when money is an issue, those big warehouse brand reels start talking to people. I always try to buy the best quality I can on everything from fishing gear to electronics. Sometimes the best of us become suckers.
Last January I went with my wife and another couple to Cabela's in Buda just to mess around. Nothing turned me on until I got into the bargain cave. Cabela's has a line of spinning reels they branded made by Dawia. The line is called "Prodigy". It's their top of the line. They had a stack of the 2500 size that were marked down from 109.00 to 49.99. I took one out of the box and played with it. It just looked like to good of a deal so I placed a half dozen in my cart. We meet up with the girls at the restaurant upstairs. My wife saw those 6 reels in my basket. She made a comment like "Those are going to become six dust magnets". Guess what. They are still sitting in a closet un-opened.
Ratherbfishing,
Just keep using the reel for stripers. Those YF's will destroy that reel in short order.
