I bought an ultralight Pinnacle spinning reel a few years ago and I was very impressed with how smooth and the overall quaility of the reel for the money that I bought a couple more of them. Granted now I am not hard on my equipment, try to take good care of it and do not throw them around and so forth but I would buy the brand again no doubt.
It seems as if 4 or 5 years ago they were to be found pretty easy but they do not seem to be as easy to find now as then.
