We don't like the gold color but seem to sell some anyway.We have not had
the spindle problem as of yet, but thanks for the info.

Maybe you need to fish somewhere that has smaller fish? (only fooling)

Nah, don't like those western rivers much.
The spindle bends a slight bit and the line gets caught between the spool
and the T bar on the rim. Really sucks. It also cut my 555 about a third
of the way through last time I used it. Had a good fish on in the current,
the line got caught, and the next thing I know, the line is being cut by the
T bar. Really ****ed me off as the line was only about 4 months old. I've
written to Loomis, but only get the standard reply on where to send the reel
for repair.
