Pros:

Superb clutch, feels well engineered and looks great with the silver spool.
|
|
Cons:

A bit garish with the gold spool.
|
|
Excellent! Excellent. The clutches on the old GTE's were not up to the job but Shimano have sorted the problem with the XTE-A.

Cost, Handle on one of mine bent in when in my bag (unprotected though)

Very good reel Brilliant reel look around, if your looking at the 6000 go for the 8000 , lighter and more line capacity, I have the 6000's and only problem is i wished i had the 8000's same physical size but heavier ??????

Pros:
|
The reel has got a silky smooth clutch that other manufacures just cannot match. The baitrunner facility disengages quickly with no fuss allowing the angler to concentrate on the task of playing the fish.
|
|
Cons:
|
The double handle is easily bent
|
|
The best just got a whole lot better The best baitrunner avaliable on the market.

Pros:
|
Good workhorse, strong for its size(5000), much improved drag and baitrunner system, sharp response, and more enclosed to prevent mud and grit entering the inside.
|
|
Cons:
|
Non so far, bought when first out, but i did trade with a local dealer, and these were a nice upgrade. But i guess price has reduced and deals to be had.
|
|
Excellent- smooth and tough They along with my Harrison chimera no 2, have been superb for the last year, hard graft and selling huge amounts of tackle at a loss bought the rods and REELS, and they are perfect, well worth the effort
