I tried to get Reporter into BFS reels. 

Personally I can't handle or get use to the flimsy wobbly glass rods.  Ugly Sticks is about the most I have done.  They do a really good job at casting with a lot of forgiveness.

I go to Joe's whenever they have good sale like 20% off.  Last year they had VIP days and reels was 40% off.  Of course one had to go on the Shimano day for a Shimano reel or a Diawa day for the Diawa reel.  Selection was limited to on hand.  That's kind of why I made no Blaque Friday purchases this past year.

Vanford is nice but a bit overpriced.  Pflueger President reels are okay performers, but the line lay on the spool sometimes get's unbalanced.

Diawa reels are generally smoother and lighter than Shimano reels, but Shimano reels can winch fish in when Diawa reels struggle.

Let me tell you one thing about interest earnings for banks.

You see only the rich will make money while the common plebians like us gets the offer of .01%

So back in the days that I worked for corporate prime bank, some cash sweep savings is what they earn daily when they cash out their investments portfolio at the end of the trading day.  Some people earn the 1% while others earn the 5% rate.  The 5% rate was exclusive only to a few certain inside portfolios.  It's goofy, cuz even with all the trading that's done, at the end of the day, the cash sweep is the prime money maker for those portfolios.  Not all accounts are like that, cuz the good portfolio managers do actually earn money on their investments, while the shoddy ones don't.  And there's a whole lot more shoddy ones than good earnings ones.
