I’ve used this reel for several weeks on freshwater trips. The retrieve rate is impressive and the spool design keeps the line organized. The weight reduction is noticeable during long casts.

Great balance between performance and weight. The HD frame handles thin lines smoothly without tangles. Works well in both still and moving water conditions.
