'Great quality spincast reel, probably the best on the market'
Strengths:
Aluminium construction, feels very solid and well put together.

Good line lay with the braid I've been using.

Smooth, adjustable clutch

Spare spool

Nice caster with a great non slip cast button.

Line pickup is great with the 3 ceramic pins.
Weaknesses:
Bit low geared for my liking.

Makes a bit of a clicking noise while retrieving, but might just be because it's new and not fully bedded in.

Spincast design makes it difficult to stop over-long casts
Overall:
Only had it a couple of weeks but must say it's a corker so far.

If you've not tried a spincaster before and use a fixed spool at the moment for lure fishing you should give this a try. Spincasters have a reputation as being for beginners but this one feels great being dead easy to cast and smooth on the retrieve.

Not sure if it's available in the UK but got mine from Bass Pro shops in the US for about $50. Great for light spinning and lure fishing but stick with a multi for the bigger lures.

Feels super quality with its ali construction and works very smoothly so far.
