Almost as good as my Metanium DC and Antares DC Amazon
I have owned many baitcaster reels. What I have found is that the more you pay, the more you get. That statement doesn't work for all products.
I can cast this thing a mile, same as my Shimano Metanium DC. It's incredible, and for the price it's definitely worth it. Probably should be $250. The low profile is great, if you're hiking around and just nice.
The noticeable difference between this and my Antares ($500) or Metanium ($500) is the crank is slightly chunkier, and less smooth. I mean, it's a small difference.
Compared to a $70 silver max (very nice), or a $140 Lews combo (great) it absolutely blows it away. And I love my Lews. It's 20% better than a Daiwa Fuego FGCT100.
Honestly would easily play $250 for this. Shimano is just unbeatable quality.
