anyone familiar w/ these reels?

i’m looking to get a new reel for my 5wt… i had a look at this reel today at a local fly shop- it seems nice.

any info/opinions- other thought at price point or lower?

much appreciated,
thanks,
aquabone.

i think for the same price you can do alot better with maybe a higher quality reel

ross
orvis
lamson

thanks Normand-

i’ve mostly fished w/ orvis battenkill variant and ross cimarron variant reels in the past- just thought i might try something different… hard to beat the the orvis BBS reels for the price.

i have considered Lamson- i’ll take a closer look.

cheers,

aquabone.
