I still use my old 55oo and 6ooo.They cast a mile and can take a beating. They work just as good as when they were newer. Got another 5000 that needs to be fixed and an even older 5500 w/ the old pearl handle that was my paw paw's reel. Got it put up for safe keeping.

I just shipped my 5500 that I've had for 20 years to Pro Reel for a cleaning and tuning. I've never done anything to it but put a lil oil on the bearings.
