Off the top of my head the biggest letdown is that the line roller runs on a bushing rather than a bearing. The sealing is not the best you'll ever see so try not to get it soaked. But all in all you could do a lot worse for the money. For a few bucks more the Daiwa Crossfire is worth a look as well. |
