Unfortunately( well maybe) I have not gotten to fish since Sunday as he wife and I are leaving tomorrow to go out of the country on our anniversary trip. I will not be bass fishing( I will go fishing on our trip just offshore) again until the weekend of the 10th-12th. I have spooled it up and made some casts in the yard. From what I can tell, it is very comparable to the 13 series, but lighter. The Smoother- maybe? Being able to cast lighter lures better, it certainly should. I am hesitant to say any of this until I spend a couple days on he water and catch some fish with it. Is it a reel worth having in your arsenal though-- Yes of course!
