jaiem,
The 5500ss is a decent reel, supposedly the last year they havfe been making them with an updated anti-rverse. The older one is horrible. I tried using the rell with 14# fireline and the anti revers broke 5 times in 2 months. The cost to have the shops fix it was almost as much as I paid for the reel. Never again will I abandon my 710z reels. Don't buy a slammer until they are proven by experienced surfcasters. For that kinda money you already got two ticas and maybe a spool of braid!!!!!
