Like most I was attracted to the machine tooled look and that they were made in the USA, but they have a well documented history of the bearings going on them and the company is well aware of it. I have spent hundreds of dollars servicing them over the years.....These reels are not cheap and there are definitely better options for the money.
Sell them to me!
The smaller SX/MX (which I'm assuming your ref to) are completely different animals then the larger HX/EX stuff. Their offshore lineup has been time tested and is right up there with Penn Internationals, Shimano Tiagra's, etc.
