I owned two San Miguel reels, would still own them if it were not for some jerk breaking into my truck.
I loved those reels! Buttery smooth drag, great looks, and bullet proof.
With the introduction of large arbor reels Ross discontinued them.
The prices you see on used ones might be due to the fact they were not cheap to begin with.

I still own several Ross reels and use the heck out of them.
