I think it's a good deal.  With all stainless inside and machine frame i don't see any reel that comes close.  The new progear feels clunkier than the US made. A little bit smaller than the CS501.

I bought it, like you said, with all stainless inside and machine frame , hard to believe it's being sold at that price

Will see
Thanks, Marc..

What about getting parts for them now that PG is off the market?

Yeah that was my concern but hey! there's some well known company that are still in business and yet can't get parts if your reel is 5 year or older

X2,
That was my concern too :'(
The reel it's self is a little tank, I considered one when they first came out.
The price is right, they were  $250 originally, then dropped to $200...
Parts may be difficult ::) butt, so are many reel parts as Marc pointed out...

Ill take it apart and take pictures when it gets here.

First impression very good







It looks small compare to my 146


I think I'll get the V40 also

And a v40 next to a jigmaster 501.

You'll love it.  Notice the resemblance in the knobs.

It may be smaller than the 146 but it'd drag that Squidder backwards until it drowned.

Was wondering, what is the difference , V50 vs v52 ?
