I have used both of them. I actually like the Rino 5 made by zebco the best. They have two pick up pins, hold a lot of line and are really smooth,and have a good drag. The only problem is the pins are small and you cannot horse them. Like if you miss and stick the arrow in some weeds, mud or log. You should wrap the line around something to pull it out. If you just use the reel to pull you WILL Break the pins. Other than that they are real nice. I also use a Zebco Prostaff 888, that I like a lot, but the drag just will not crank down enough to bring in large fish. We are headed to Ky this weekend to shoot big heads, so I changed everything over to Rino's. Walmart sells them for 35. good luck
