First post on this forum so hello all...
I've had SS3000's now nearly 10 years love them but recently
I've starting debating a change,grinding is starting on then but don't have many reels I actually love like my SS's...my pal has the shimano power Aero XTB's which I like but I've read their has been problems with spool caps ? Has anyone had any issues regarding this or any other problems ?
Regards 😁

Yes this might be the option mate my worry with these newer Shimano is the spool cap is poor.

SS3000 or 5000T, same reel isn't it?
I'd f__k them off and get the Shimano's. Better reel all round. None of that reeling in for ages and ages and cocking about with daft rubber bits.
I'm sure it's a pleasurable experience going on a train journey on an old steam powered locomotive, if you want to get to your destination with the least bit of aggravation smoothly and fast, get with the future and go with the power aero's.

I made this mistake, went from Ss3's to the Power Aeros and regretted after my first session
2 of the spool clickers went, one of the spool rotors broke and that was that
Got the broken one replaced, repaired both the clickers and sold them on
Gone back to Tournies now
My advice is keep what you have!

Yeah seen that I'm not a fan of them tbh I seen Dave Levy changed his handles today on Instagram to brown wooden ones...really am debating the change maybe keep the SS's and treat myself to the Power Aeros
