hey i just got to finally use it this weekend on the delta. caugt a 50lb sturgeon with it while casting for stripers. the reel handeled it perfectly. the $350 really payed off. i also have 65lb red powerpro on the spool so that really helped out. i hooked countless catfish and bass also and the reel never failed me ONCE. i have it put on a 6'9" ugly stick tiger casting rod and boy did it set the hook great. everytime i would set the hook the anti-reverse would work perfectly and the line wouldnt even dig in thanks to the ugly. lol. well, the retrieve was UNBELIEVEABLE and rivals that of my daiwa viento. so far, this is the best casting reel i have used. if i had the money, i would buy another, but for now, im saving up for an avet.
last words on the reel:
PURE FREEKING JOY
