I faced with the same situation with a 6000 LT modell: I ordered it BECAUSE of the new screw-on type handle (and because of some other genereal '20 to '23 upgrades), but had to send it back as it was a hex-through folding type in real life
We feel each anglers requirements are unique and that a baitcasting combo doesnt fulfill the needs as well as personally selecting the perfect bass fishing rod and manually making your own reel combo
We have full guides on choosing these (linked above), but just bear in mind for bream you want maximum sensitivity for feeling bites, and a tip thats preferably not so soft you cant set the hook
The lifespan is something I cant speak too yet, having only had this reel a couple of months
Even when they are not feeding, they will often pounce on lures out of sheer aggressiveness
