It's pretty good especially for the price!

Nice reel, but I like the size of the 40 personally. Hoping to test the drag on it tomorrow

i try to stay with reels under 30. i like small reels. they fit in my small hands a little better.

I've heard nothing but glowing reports about those reel. For local fishing I'd go with the 30, 35, or 40 over the 50 also. It depends on what you're going to use it for; the 30 holds plenty of spectra to fish locally and the 35 and 40 are taller and narrower which most anglers prefer for throwing iron. Mike
