I have read the thread from 2005. I am not concerned so much with cost or place of manufacture. Now that this reel has been around for a while, is it a good reel for a spey rod? Which would be better, the 8/10 or the 9/13 for Atlantics or Steelhead on a 14 or 15 foot rod? Assuming a 9 or 10 weight line 120 to 140 feet in length. Thanks for any replies.
