I just wanted to know what the differences between these reels were in regards to maintenance effort, long term durability, and any performance differences. Thanks!

So you guys seem to be knocking these guys for “tarnishing fishing” and having a “demographic of 12 year olds.” Here’s the way we see y’all. I’m 16 and enjoy fishing, football, and baseball. Like all nice things, I take care of my rods. People knock Googan products for appealing to the younger generation and “durability”. I take care of my rods and roll my lures when I rig up so durability issues is just for some people. Now for the “kids”, these are the next generation. Y’all are like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning. Y’all are one day going to be gone. The Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes generation of fishing is coming. Be thankful these guys are getting outside to fish with a modernized twist on it that appeals to this generation. Just because they aren’t 100 years old doesn’t make them a bad brand. One day, my generation will be old and there will be a new generation with a new “best” brand. It’s really not a big deal. Let the kids fish with the products they want to use. Googan products, as much as I have used them, are pretty solid. A common recurring statement I’m seeing from y’all is “I don’t know too much about these guys, but I do know...” or “I haven’t tried their products but I heard...”. Don’t knock it until you try it or just don’t knock it. If you like your brand, go like your brand. It’s not a big deal. Now for you folks saying they are going on posted private property, don’t act like you’ve never broken a law and didn’t get caught. Remember your nitpicking here next time you go 46 mph on a 45 mph road. It’s posted that you can’t exceed 45 mph, but everyone does it sometimes anyways. Reread what you said. No one wants to buy them because of who buys them... It’s just like Wilson in baseball. They sell youth gloves and selling tons of youth gloves for smaller margins makes more money than less adult gloves for huge margins. People don’t care if someone they don’t relate to is sponsored (unless there is a controversy like Kaepernick that starts boycotts). The cheaper models like the defender sell to a different audience than some of their $300-$400+ rods do. Favorite probably lost in the long run because of how difficult it is to make money off of few expensive products vs. many cheaper products. Just a thought to think about.
