Thanks for sharing your experience, Marc.
Will give it a whirl. I'm always willing to find something that works
better.

Cheap Japanese reels are quite hard to load and are unreliable. They
bend out of true very easily. I kid you not: you can bounce a Hewes
reel on the floor and it will not bend. Easiest reel to load ever
made. And, again, they are NOT expensive.
