I've just got some original Tournament Entoh only used them once but really like them, nice drag, smooth, quite light. Would buy again.

The biggest difference I noticed swapping from shimano 5500 pits was the gear ratios, the 5500s were higher ratio and probably retrieved more line per turn, the entohs are lower geared so seem slower, but there's a lot less rod pumping needed to get the lead moving.

Personally I'd take the entohs, but I seem to be an outlier preferring lower ratio reels and slow drags

Guy’s got a choice of these two sets of reels, the entohs are the silver originals. Both sets are in excellent condition, need your advice on which I should go for? Any advice on pro’s and con’s please
Thanks in advance
