Number of bearing definitely does not make the reel. Quality bearings in key locations is much more important. Don’t get sucked in by high bearing count. 

Amen sir, how correct you are, which is why I have always been a Shimano fan....great performance with a minimum bearing count.

I bought the Johnny Morris platinum. It’s regularly $200 & was on sale for $125.  I may regret it, but I read tons of reviews online as well as the feedback here. 
 

thank you for your help.  

And you made a good choice.  Should last you forever.

Yup a whole 10 second spin.

Yep. When the knob quits spinning twitch your jerkbait. Then do it over and over.  It's good for making you go slower when the waters cold.?
