A great reel! Went over to Cabelas Sunday and got one...my opinion so far after 2 days on the water....

Very smooth!
Casts like a dream!
The best centrifigal braking system I've ever used
I had to try to get an over-run
It makes a little more noise on the cast than my CTE400 but doesn't seem to matter much
very light/comfortable
super smooth drag
the only issue I could even find was the free-spool button wouldn't dis-engauge under too much line pressure
the freespool button is designed for either a one or two hand operation
I threw Tripple D, LLungen Tail, 9 and 10" Suicks, 10" Cobbs and my FatCats and it handle them with ease
Only time will tell, but so far so good,,,,,

Anyone else have this reel?

Best reel going right now... hands down!

2 years with mine and I have tortured that reel trying to blow it out. I can't.

I won't fish anything else.

Does the smaller size20 have a bait clicker as well? Does the levelwind engage on the cast? Thanks, Ben

Guys, what's the drag like on this reel and is the gear ratio too high (5.7:1) for some techniques? The TackleTour review for the reel indicates that it's good but I'd appreciate hearing your experience with the reel.

Thanks,

JT

the drag is saltwater quality. I am very happy with mine.
