Fished in heavy cover with 12-ounce swimbaits and the reel handled the load without skipping or backlash. The braking system is easy to adjust and keeps the line tight during retrieves. Long handle gives better control when casting in tight spaces.
Ian Simpson –
Used it on a muskie run and it held up well under pressure. The X-Protect feature seems to prevent damage from rocks and brush. Wind-up is smooth and consistent even when the fish is pulling hard.
Anna Peake –
Good power and reliable braking. A bit heavy for short casts, but works well when targeting large fish in deep water. The adjustability of the brake is a big plus for different lure types.
