Cost of each would be interesting also ??..Like the old saying goes "Hard to teach an old Dog new tricks " so stay with what i know works for me Chris.
If it aint broke dont fix it
and what i use works for me for what i chase from Estuary to offshore .
Mind you if i was into hardcore Sportsfishing like Marlin etc i would want to use the best of the Best so each has its use and advantage ey.
Like Some of the New Fancy reels out on the Market , not that i would like to or couldnt afford to spend that much on a Reel like the new Penn Authority for instance but with so many Reels allready sitting idle i sometimes think it would be a waste or money could be spent better eslewhere ??..
So much change and will be more to come Competing for the Market with better and stronger internals and dare say lifespan should be far longer depending how one looks after their gear ey .
Get so close to sometimes thinkin "Darn !!" will buy that Reel then i look into my Reel collection and spy a Daiwa Millionaire for instance 40 odd year old sitting there wishing for its owner to take it out for a day or two out tackle with a Fish and still as new as the day it was purchased lol..
So look at spending the $$ on the Boat in some way or other , More likely fuel now way prices are lol. New Sounder when and if this one packs it in as there surely are some nice units out there ide like sitting in front of me i could drool over ..
Or just spend it on the Grandkids
