Hi, yes i've been using one for over 6 months and it's been fine, no problems. However, the drag wasn't exactly great so i've only recently replaced the stock washers with carbontex washers, with a bit of Cals lube it's increased the drag range and is now smoother. I haven't taken the reel apart yet.

nice looking reel.  recommendations would be the same.  make sure the drags are greased carbon fiber, pack all the bearings with grease, and get a light coat of grease on all the non exposed surfaces.  pretty standard stuff......    :-\
