Pros: Excellent baitrunner,smooth drag,reliable.
Cons: None so far,suppose they could be cheaper(I paid

Brilliant reel Handles everything I throw at it,from river barbelling to still water piking.I've used Okumas before,and thought they were ok,but this just feels like it's in a different league.

Pros: The line clip is vastly superior to previous designs, overall the reel seems very solid and smooth with precise drag operation.
Cons: Is it me, how small are the 5000 spools? The same size as a Sedona 3000 match reel...

Potentially excellent Time will tell as they will get battered on the Ribble throughout the year and on tench waters, in fact I'll be using them almost continually. I look forward to reporting back in 12 months' time.
