That Serrano is an awesome reel, I may have to pick up another ! Smoother than my curado. How long have you been using the Serrano? Durable with normal maintenance?

What do you think of that Cedros reel? Much better than Serrano? I handled one yesterday at the okuma distributor in Ontario, feels nice too but wish it had more line capacity. The okuma guys were awesome btw, I lost my spool tension cap and bearing on my Serrano ( had it too loose while pitching for LMB ) and they took care of me and hooked me up for free.

I'm looking to get the H 1-3oz version of the Coastal to double as a large fw swimbait rod and as a 1+ oz sw swimbait and occasional bait rod. Which are you using?
