Absolutly no complaints, Mar 01, 2008

reviewer: Greg Dixon from Pinetown, Durban, South Africa

This is the reel i learned 2 cast with. Really smooth, practical, and easy 2 use. Plus it holds a decent amount of line too. Has an excellent drag system, a very nicely balanced reel that casts like a dream. I use it on my 12ft power stick pro, fishing off the beach or rocks. Also i liked the feel of the mechanism when switching between retrieve and free spool. Feels really sturdy. Its also really easy 2 strip and clean. No hassels here. Al in all, a tru classic withstanding the test of time

These reels actually make pretty good surfcasters too, but you have to get one with the older plastic spool. I have several, and they are surprisingly easy to control, assuming that one already has an "educated" thumb.
I also have a magged ALUM. spool reel, and it works good too, but it takes a lot of mag and a heavy heave with a 12 ft. rod to get a whole squid out into the fun zone. But it will do this reliably all day long, and once something hooks-up, there's no better tool for the job
