Have you serviced or used any Omoto reels? Any comments?
yes, early models had a few issues, later models look pretty good. anything in particular that you were wondering about?
Is the 2009 model Uliess OK? Any problems with the drag if I use 65# braid?
not sure of the model number, but you should be fine if it is the model i am thinking of. what's your max drag at strike before losing freespool?

Hey Doc,
That is the model Zorro (gold color) I sent to you couple years ago. It is a heavy reel, but it puts out15# on strike and 20# on full before losing free spool.
