For the record I am not bashing cast aluminum reels, I have had many and still have one (it has landed bonefish and tarpon). I just prefer machined and since you can get good machined aluminum reels and decent prices why not get machined. I did have an issue with a Ross Flyrise, I dropped it on my hardwood floor and it bent the rim of the body so it was rubbing on the spool, I was able to bend it back into shape so it worked but it kind of soured me on cast aluminum.
