How much $$$ do you have?

Is this the candidate?

Thats in great condition. Is that a SS spool as well? If you are looking beyond the basic as I mentioned, then I would opt for a SS gear sleeve as well and then after that it really just becomes about how much you want to spend.

I only saw SS spools in the 500S models.  In fact, I wanted to swap out the SS spool for an aluminum one and I've found that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't in a 500S, but in reverse, no problem.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D
