Crappy quality is more like it I've had Walmart gear that's held up better. If you're breaking reels they're the bcx or s series turds. If you "broke" some Swedish made reels I'll pay shipping send them to me and I'll send you a video of them working perfect again 2 days later.

You're correct BCX's but for the price of 1 BCX ($70) I could buy 2 h2o's and last 100 times longer with zero issues.

That's the point we are trying to make here, If you're using BCX's you are basically buying China made [censored]. Spend $100 on a Swedish made reel and you'll never buy another h2o.

But why spend $100 on 1 reel when I can buy 2 h2o's for $70 and they work just as good as my Lews reels.
