Pete, I have been looking into the new 275 and you seem to be the only one I have found that has tested one. I had several 300's that I sold, and now I love my 250 again, so this seems like a good fit. The one thing I can't seem to wrap my brain around is the fact that it is listed as $50 over the price of the 300. If it is pretty much a 250 body with a 300 spool, why the price hike? A higher gear ratio can't cost that much more, and the handle change shouldn't be the reason for the difference. What makes this reel more expensive than its big brother?
