Here is the link to them http://fish.shimano.com/publish/cont...ag/tekota.html

Broke with-in two years?? Either that's pure abuse(like your dropped them in saltwater and left them there for 2 weeks) or a lie.

I still have an original Avet. That run of Avets had bearing problems. Which were fixed(free) and still working 100% today. I do NOT take care of my tackle after every trip. I abuse them, I admit that. I have to have them serviced because of my own neglect and they come back 100% all the time(plug for Reel Seat )

You can say you don't like them(as you said, preference) but to say they broke is complete BS.
