Comments: Update on my initial post: After having 5 of these reels for a year, I still love them.  Very consistent and smooth- no issues. I really like the 3 different spool/magnet controls. It really lets you dial in to each specific lure you are throwing. I have them all matched on Veritas rods and they balance great. They handle light fluoro, and heavy braid all the same. Only complaint is I wish they had a 5:1 for cranking. Like any reel, the cleaner you keep them, the better they will perform.

Comments: Just got this reel. I was only able to cast/pitch for a little bit. So far I think it is a great reel. Did not know what to expect for $80, but fresh out of the box this reel is legit! Very small with a great feel and big handle. Incredibly smooth with many options to adjust the magnets/spool etc. Love it!
