Pinky I have this reel and know someone who has it. The main shaft bent on his mine has a noticeable "pause". I tried to take it apart to see what could be wrong but couldn't. The reel seemed as it would be great reel. I think the problem is the spool wasn't designed properly for the reel. It has double bearing on the shaft. Which would of been great for fast running fish. The body of the reel is made of tough Aluminum Hybrid material. I don't know i probably would just buy a Stradic if you looking at that range of reels. I did manage to get mine for $50 bucks though. I think Abu could of have a great little reel here maybe with some improvements.
