    A 50 mg would work. Or a 70 series.

    The two 50mg's I bought were 9.5 out of 10. He has one that's 7.5 out of 10 that works fine that he wants $130 for.

    I guess I'm going to have to try one of these reels, I've always been a Lews or Revo guy.

    I used a chronarch last week and it was a damn nice reel, probably the smoothest I've ever used.

    ive got a couple of 50mg's and a 50e that I just got back from having cleaned and bearings replaced. Would be willing to trade all 3 for an nrx jwr 872 spinning. Prefer the blue rod.

    I'm sure there's an inside joke there, but I used to love those reels. Still have a couple from the 90s. They're in a vault with some Shimano Black Max round reels.

    Yeah, Stompy don't like round reels. The 100 is the only Shimano I have and I still use it. I also have a couple of the Black Max in the boat, one on my Carolina rig and another on a T-rig rod. Black Maxes are ABU Garcia though. Most all the rest are ABU Garcia STX and 2005LP. Think I have one Lews and a couple of Pflugers.

    Yes, Abu Garcia. I stand corrected. I don't like the round reals anymore either. Fact is, I got away from Shimano all together many years ago. I wouldn't mind having a Calais, though.
