Graphite vs Aluminum

[Toad_Hunter]

in my last post I asked about carbon vs aluminum instead of carbon I meant to ask about graphite. so do any of y'all have an opinion on graphite bait casters I was thinking about getting the Lews XP it has a one piece graphite frame. but lately I've heard that graphite bends and warps so I'm starting to reconsider. if anyone could give me their opinion on the matter it would be appreciated.

I've got only one graphite reel left in my main arsenal...I've been moving to metal frames (3 aluminum, one magnesium for the others). No matter what they call it - graphite, carbon, resin - it's all 'plastic' and will flex under pressure. If you can afford it - go with the aluminum frame. Even less expensive reels have it (Diawa CA-80, Diawa Fuego CT, Shimano SLX, etc)...just check the manufacturers site to make sure...Shimano calls it Hagane...but it's a metal frame.
