Importance of ballbearings

I have access to all the reels. The one I found myself reaching for first
last year was a medium price range ABU Torno.

Rich, are the Torno's holding up well? I wanted to go to a low profile and
wasn't going to spend $ on Shimanos. Like Abu's better. My 5000's and 5500's
have been going for over 15 years and a couple over 20 and I have 4600 C3's
that are great. I look at the Shimano's as the SUV's cause it's the "in"
thing. Don't get me wrong, they are incredibly good reels but since everyone
has raved on em the prices have gone outrageous just like you used to be
able to buy a truck as cheap or slightly higher than a car. Now everyone
owns trucks and SUV's and the prices on those are outright ridiculous. I
wished all the yuppies would go back to buying cars so poor boys like me
could afford a truck. And yes I have to have a truck to get down the county
and farm roads I live on.

The finish (IE paint) has worn off the top, but mechanically, yes, the reel
still feels and sounds like it did a year-and-a-half ago.
