Update.. spooled 15 lb line and tied on a 1/4 Oz trap. The reel is only 1/2 Oz more than revo, so not noticeable while using.
A slight flick of the wrist, and it casts a mile. Actually caught a 2 lber while testing. No issues reeling under pressure.
Slight gear chatter when putting the whip to it trying to see how far this thing casts. No big deal.
So my summary.. reel feels good. . Casts farther than my revo, and had no complaints. I just will have to see how long it holds up. It may fall apart tomorrow, or go for a while. Well see.
