I just bought a reel and three spools for $210.00 from Sierra trading post. Great deal. So far three outings with no issues. I had a couple fish pull out some drag with no problems. Here is what I would only squawk about. These reels are not as tight as my much higher priced reels that I own. Second is that the handle has a little more play than I am used to. Make sure you use Micro backing if you plan on fishing for fish with bad intensions. That's about it so far. The color matches perfect with my TFO Mangrove that I'm using for saltwater surf and back bays here in So. Cal.
