I am not stuck on brand names. If I can get a higher quality reel at a lower price point, I am all over it. Anyone using a PBS PQ?

It does look good, but it's hard to say for sure. Could be coming from the same manufacturer but built to a different price point with slightly lower quality components.
Personally I'd spend the extra $20 (but save on shipping?) and just pick up a Shimano Caenan locally.
But that's just me
