| Cons:
low quality material, easily damaged I bought this in a 7/8 until I could afford a nicer heavyweight reel. Not worth the money. After only a few uses, I forgot to completely loosen the drag after using, and the drag catches now. Also, the cast metal material is considerably weaker than machined metal, and will bend (easily), causing the spool to catch and possibly other problems. I would consider myself only an average user, I certainly didn't abuse the reel. I sure wish I had the money I spent on it back to make a better investment. I haven't tried to return it yet, but don't expect much luck. The one really nice function is the drag which uses a bearing so that the spool doesn't spin when taking line out (No knuckle cracking on the handle).
