i've got 3 different models, LP, radius and velocity, 5 total. I love them and may never buy another brand. the reels are great and the service is even better. once bought the wrong spool for a velocity off ebay, had old model bout new, and lamson traded me spools. what other company would do that. and if you send the reel in for service they will replace the bearing and drag cone for free or any other part for that matter for free.
