The daiwa tatula is worth looking into. Mine have been great so far.

I had a Tatula that my brother gave me for Christmas this year. First day I took it out we got into that school of redfish that was terrorizing the East bank of Big Lake last winter. It was done after the 4th fish. It didn't have the drag to deal with those things. I got fed up having to mess around with a fish for 10 min and tightened up the drag all the way. They were still pealing it like an apple. Blew the gusts out of it on the first day. I think I had 40 lb suffix on it because I had been on some big reds. I'll admit it was nice and smooth and cast a mile it just didn't have enough nuts. I am sure that kind of abuse would do the same things to a lot of reels but it hasn't done it to my 13's, Old Curado's, and Chronarch's.

I have had some corrosion problems with my Concept A but not with the C or the Inception. Have you heard anything bad about the Inceptions Mr. Mark? That Chronarch 50 you fixed for me works better than it did when it was new. Thanks.
