The reel feels solid and well-built. The clicker is very responsive and the drag system gives a clear audible click. I love the hand-painted plate—it’s a nice touch that reflects the inspiration behind the design. The conservation aspect is a great addition to the product.

The reel performs well in practice. The clicker is crisp and the design is unique. A bit heavy for casual use, but perfect for serious fishing on Colorado rivers. The conservation donation is a meaningful addition.
