'Superb - read reviews elsewhere as well'
Strengths:
Strong build; amazing drag for a "small reel" ; good clicker ; easy to use 2-speed ; small and light enough to use stand-up without a big game harness
Weaknesses:
heavy for a "4/0" sized reel (its a "bomb-proof" build); bit flashy for some with that gold colour ; expensive compared with (e.g.) Penn Formula 15kg or TLD2-30
Overall:
If you are prepared to pack superbraid on really tight (to avoid line digging in-between coils on the spool during a fight) this is the heaviest reel you'd need for fish up to about 500lb in British Waters. Conger, Skate, Porbeagle can all be handled by it. It is small and light enough for fun with 150lb fish
