		Those are pretty good reels Skipper.  Have you ever looked into the Saltist reels??  They have a bigger bearing to handle  a little more torque and the side load that most of the Greenhorns subject the equipment to.  They are available in both 5:1 and 6:1 ratios. 
  
As far as the level wind goes, I had many problems with the Tekotas. Have you ever seen the Okuma Convectors?? They have a very good series of levelwind reels. Otherwise the Penn GTI series are also very good for strong levelwind reels.[cool]
