I have the Topwater for my 5/6 travel rod, and honestly if I had to replace it in the same price range, I'd get the Okuma Sierra instead. The Topwater just feels a little sloppy now, and it didn't when I bought it. That said, it's not like it detracts from my fishing pleasure. It is a budget minded reel and certainly not overpriced. I can't speak for their higher end products as I've not used them.
