I am starting to hear some really bad feedback on the new Shimano's from guides in both LA and TX. Say they aren't holding up...

I'll be trying some of the new abu garcia's soon including the new MGX...

Yes, and I love it! But I like trying new stuff and the Abu MGX is next on the list.

I will definitely buy more of the Lew's Tourney Pros and I highly recommend em. Mine has survived this year with no maintenance/cleaning, etc.

Default Yep

I still have a few of the first aluminum pearl white chronarchs-I get some bearings and gears replaced once a year and I love them. I have several newer green curados and they just dont hold up- I keep those for my sports, but I still have and love my older chronarchs-no reel will out throw it, I pull my brakes back and can throw my spook a mile. New ones I agree have not been impressed with there durability.
