Rick, I've used the older ones as jigging reels and they've been great but the changes are all pluses as far as I can tell. 28 lbs of drag, a little more powerful gear ratio, and a line counter that doesn't stick out quite so far. The only thing is, the price puts it up there with the one speed 665.
That said, you can always make room for one more I guess. Got 3 of the OTI rods to check out and they look great. Am spooling up a Kaikon for the 300 gram rod and an Accurate 665 for the 600 gram. Think a TwinPower 8000 on the spinner. Now. I NEED TO GO FISHING.
