Awesome!
Absolutely great reel if you can afford it. Once your spoiled with this one, you'll never want to use anything else. I upgraded from the cruxis which was nice enough but nothing compared to how smooth this one is. I've dropped it on rocks and dunked it in the river and it still works like new.
