I have never owned one but a good friend of mine loaned me one for a weekend and I really liked the reel for what it was... They are not bad reel's but I just don't care to own one due to the feel of it.

There really good for the price and hold up pretty well. I have a 6740 and use it on the river fishing for salmon and it does awesome.

They are very popular he in my neck of the wood. My bud swears by them, and has 6 or-so. I have a 6730 and it's a fine spinning reel. I could spend 5X more but still wouldn't catch more fish!

Definitely don't pay more than $40... $35 would be even better for a used reel. Assuming Tackle Warehouse has their 15% off Memorial Day sale again, you can pick it up brand new from them for $50.

For the extra $15.00 buy new...........warranty

I don't care to buy anything used.

The Bass Pro outlet store (returns, discontinued, overstocks, etc.) has them all the time for about 30.00 -40.00, so I wouldn't pay more for that for a used one.

That being said, I have a couple and although they aren't the finest or best or flashiest, they are definitely a good, solid, and dependable reel.

I have one in the 40 size I've used  pretty steady for about 2 years and it seems to get smoother as time goes on.
