I just asked this in Alan's tear down tutorial, but figure this area is more appropriate to find answers, if any. Based on his tear down, in conjunction with Alan Hawk's review, it seems like a nice spinner. But other then that, I don't really hear much about the reel anywhere. And it's been years since this reel has been released. So anyone have any user experience and have thoughts on them, both good and bad?
i've actually haven't seen one since. they ought to be ok, just needs the basic service.
Thanks Alan. I have no doubts about its capability, but it's always nice to hear peoples' user experiences. The photos of the insides look very impressive and clean. If onlythey were readily available at local tackle shops, so I can see and hold one for myself. Was thinking of getting one for jigging and popping. I'll probably just end up buying a nice conventional reel.
