The spool feels solid and balanced with the 1 oz weight. The arbor design makes line retrieval smooth and fast. Works well with my FIPS Euro Nymph line. No issues with line feeding or handling during casting.
Rebecca Springer –
Great build quality and the hard anodized finish holds up well in wet conditions. The ergonomic handle is comfortable for long sessions. Slightly heavier than expected, but the balance is good for nymphing.
