Today I got new 8 lb line put on my reel. That 20 year old reel is OK. I saw a top of the line Shimano UL spinning reel at our local Bass Pro Shop that was very smooth and very light. But, Mon Deu! $149.! I can buy al lot of trout at the supermarket for that.

Anyway, as I get back into fishing I'll maybe be interested enough to get a new reel in a year or so. I do love spin fishing with UL tackle.
