Not a lot out there about it. I've heard the typical complaining of the wimpy CI4 flexing, but I never experienced this with the regular CI4's
I used my wife's CI4+ HG for a few hours and I can say it's better in every category over the E's series. The higher gear option is sweet and the braking has plenty of adjustments for fine tuning. Very smooth casting and retrieve. Though my season is very poor now and fish are hard to find I haven't felt a fish on it yet. I really like it, now I have to get one for myself.
