Rods are like cars you need to test drive them to find the make and model you prefer. Hard to do in a pawn shop. Ross makes some good reels, some not so good, as does Lamson. I have a couple of older Ross Gunnison G-2 reels that have held up for 20 years. As well as a newer Lamson reel. And they all have been reliable.
