"I have had this rell for a few months now and I fish with it alot, at least three times a week in the back country here in SW Florida for Snook, Reds, Spotted Seatrout an this reel with a 8 wt Reddinton rod is a a nice setup for what im doing. I have even cought a few bigger fish that make long hard runs with this setup and I palmed the reel when they ran and landed every fish! This is my first setup for saltwater fising and I love it! I really dont see any reason for spending any more money on a reel. Sure there are some nicer reels that I wanted but I am satisfied with this reel . Also after the hard use in the salt water I rinsed it every time and I can see no signs of corrosion. Nice reel!"
