Re: 17 lber on 4 lb line
Great discussion There are those who choose to drive old ( classic, antique ) cars and those who want something more modern. The same can be said for fishermen and their tackle. Skirted spools vs. non skirted, bail springs vs. internal bail tripping, slow gear ratio vs. fast ratios are a few major considerations. Parts availability and repairs are also worth mentioning. There are quite a few somewhat newer reels that have a limited parts inventory. When parts become scarce, no new parts are manufactured. The hope of the companies is that fishermen will buy new reel rather than search around for someone who can repair the old one.
