Anyone use them and have a long term review?
I'm using xsb mags atm and have used shimano reels the majority of the time, but I want something a bit more robust
New model diawa and shimano reels don't interest me, and my 10000xt's have been retired from workhorse duties as one needs a new drive and pinion gear that I cant find anywhere!

I've got 5000Ts and 6000Ts that are both pimped pretty much exactly as the Weston specials other than the superficial bits . . (worm shaft/anti-reverse upgrades/QD/Carbon washers/Line Clip) . . .personally prefer the original look (grey with gold spool and original caps) however the black version with a gold spool does look nice!
Definite workhorse reels - I like their familiarity over anything else. I have more modern reels that are smoother; however Tournies just 'feel' right when playing big fish and have never let me down. Probs cheaper to source a decent used set then pimp them than paying Weston prices and having their horrible logo splashed all over them!
