do you guys think there is still a time and place to use this reel? wondering if picking up a used one is worth it or not

I use this reel for one reason. Burning smaller blades when speed is the thing.

One of the best reels i've ever owned unless your casting into a NW wind at 20 mph.

Had mine up for sale for maybe an hour after picking up a Tranx HG. Then decided I couldn't part with it... been wanting to do some vertical jigging with Bondy's and tubes and figured this would be a great choice for it.

I have had some thought about the trinidad. Is the reel engagment an issue using a manual lever?

Not really, comes pretty automatic after turning the handle, not getting anywhere. I use the 12, and i like it a lot. Not larger than an AMB Classic, but a powerhouse. But IMO the Trinidad, is not a beginners reel for baitcasting.
