Hope this does not sound a bit stupid but are fixed spool reels becoming too good and actually causing problems.
I own a fair share of reels from the very expensive to moderately priced ones.
Take the Daiwa 2500a which i use for stick float fishing and light lines,actually is so smooth it spins like a centre pin and can create problems. Shimano Stradic 4000 is very similiar.
The other day i was fishing a lake for crucians and actually used the Okuma which was a free gift from Coarse Fisherman and was pleasantly suprised on how good the reel was apart from the rear drag which i dont like.
This reel was going to be a gift to my grandson Owen but it looks like his grandad might just be hanging on a bit
