Performance: Very Good, Design: Very Good, Price/Value: Very Good

A stainless steel main shaft and other corrosion-resistant components combined with eight ball bearings keep this good looking reel working smoothly. The audible click helps you know how much adjustment you've made on the classic oiled felt/stainless disc drag dial. Light line is protected as it passes over a titanium-coated lip on the anodized aluminum spool. The large diameter line roller also boasts titanium nitride coating to further reduce line friction. The bail stays open with a sure click and the machined aluminum handle features a cushy-feeling knob. If the drag remains up to snuff on big-running trout, the reel should be a winner.

TESTERS' COMMENTS:
A real slab whacker. Super nice and comfortable ridged knob. Good looking. Line spooling could be a little more even. A very good buy overall.
