went to bass pro to compare the 10 and 20 and purchase whichever one was better suited for a 6'6'' L action rod for crappie and inline spinners for bass. They only had a the display of the 20 so I was unable to compare. Anyone have any advice as to which one to go with because I am just going to order it online now.

I have a soron 40 that I use for larger fish and I also have a cardinal 802, same as the soron which has pulled many 20+ in as well, they are really fine reels.  I put an 804 handle on my 802 which was a great upgrade for only 10 bucks.

sounds good. I love the way the reel itself feels. Just need to figure out whether to order a size 10 or 20

For the applications you mentioned I'd get the 10, assuming you're going to use 6 lb or smaller test line. I bought a 20 today after doing a lot of "researching" and was pleased with it when comparing it to the competition. Since you didn't take advantage of the BPS reel trade in... FYI Sports Authority has them on sale for $99 (BPS is $129) and Tackle Warehouse will price match. Abu also has a $10 rebate, so you'll only end up paying $89 for that $129 reel.

thanks ill go with the size 10 then. Just sucks that bass pro didn't have em. ill e-mail TW and see how to go about getting price match

I have the Soron STX-10 and it is perfect for 6-lb. line.

I just bought a STX-20 at Gander Mountain for $78. I couldn't believe it. They said it was because they were moving slow. My son and I bought the last 3 they had. I love the 20, but the 10 is probably the size your looking for.
