The Shimano Tekota's are more reliable than the 6500's but also more expensive.

I have a little of everything, but mostly Pro Anglers and Ugly Sticks, I like both of them. I like the Medium Pro Angler spinning rods with Shimano Baitrunner reels best for punch bait for channels, and the Pro Angler MH baitcast rod with a ABU 6500 Pro Rocket (the black Sweedish one) when fishing cut baits or live bluegill. I have a couple of Penn Fathom reels that are good as well.
