From the first cast, I found myself impressed by the reel. It has a 5.3:1 gear ratio and great performance characteristics. • The centrifugal brake is configured to provide a wide range of casting control. • The reel has 3 bearings and crowned brass gears which give the reel a smooth feel. • The carbon matrix drag system is very responsive and very predictable. I would encourage any of you who come across the reel in a store, to seriously consider adding it to your compliment of reels. The reel goes for about $70.00 - $90.00.
