I bought some of these this summer, i have found them excellent reels, the action is good and smooth, not an expensive reel, but more than upto the job, I used them for carp fishing in france, they easily handled all that i could throw at them.
I liked the touch of the brushes on the side of the spool, stops the line falling behind the spool, simple but effective.
for 50 quid ( cheaper on line) they are a cracking reel.
