felt them whilst at AFTA and they are very light but not in the same league as a daiwa or shimano in the same price bracket. Look cool but.

Sweet, I wouldn't imagine they would be as good as daiwa or Shimano. Just wondering. Still wouldn't go past daiwa haha

Funky reel. I wonder if it had a shimano or daiwa badge on it, would we rate it more highly.

They're one of my favorite looking reels ever. The down side is they just aren't as refined as some other mid priced offerings.

Guys are hung up on brands.These other companies coming through with fantastic gear that perform just as well.One being Abu.We need to look at function and less at badge.

Saw them at AFTA but didn't have a spin - couple mates did and they didn't rate it

The baitcaster felt good, the spinning, iam still undecided, will probably get the baitcasters when they arrive at year end.
