Hi Kev,

How are you finding the Stratos? I had a FS7000E (cheaper version) for a couple of seasons....and thought it was absolute cack (for want of a better word). The gears completely went when I was playing a big fish and put me in all sorts of trouble. The writing was on the wall a long time before that though.

I now use Okuma Interceptor Pros IPB340s....cheaper but a class apart IMO
