A saltwater big blade reel with external magnetic cast control for $100!!!!!! Almost sounds too good to be true.

My question is has anyone used one yet? I've looked at them online and watched the Icast video on them but I'm looking for a little real life feedback before I buy one...

My only concern with this reel is that it has a plastic/fiber frame ????
If anyone gets one I will for free reoil and grease and tune the reel and drag system for free. PM me.

I got one last summer to reoil and grease and it looks like a good reel for DCG10-13, I know the first ones had a drag recall on them. The fiber frame I don't think will take alot of abuse but I think this reel would work very well as a backup or for someone that would use this reel for few weeks out of the year.
