Anyone have any experience with this reel? Friend of mine uses this 4.1:1 reel for big blades...wondering what everyone's take is on this reel?

IMO are the Rocket the best casting ABU Classic ever. Some of the models are great reels, I am quite happy with the 6500 CL Big Game, that is basically a steel framed Rocket.

But 4.1:1 in a Rocket, that must be a customized version?, and normally I would not recommend using a rocket for bigger than size 8" blades, unless you pimp it with Steel gears.
