Does anyone have any experience with this reel? What does it compare to, 6500C3, calcutta, corvalus?

I have two of the cv-x 253a's, which is the next size down. They are absolutely my favorite reel for muskies that I've owned. Much smoother than a c3 or c4. I think the calutta may be a little nicer. but the cv-z is the one made the compete with the calcutta. The corvalus I have not used, but I did have an older corsair which wasn't very good compared to anything else. I hardly oil these reels and they keep on going. They are tough. You won't find much plastic inside of them.
