Was wondering if Alan or anyone for that matter has come across any of these reels or had experience using them ???

Saw one in my local tackle shop today ,reduced in price and with a voucher burning a hole in my pocket ::)
Seems solidly built ,if a little heavy, but have to say it looks the part whether it can act the part is the bigger question .
