I didn't want to hold it for more than a couple minutes or else I would have talked myself into buying it.
Honestly, the reel is super light, 5.4 ounces I believe. The spool spun nice, but most reels do that right out of the box. I realy liked the design but won't know for sure how it fits my hand until I fasten it to a rod. I am almost certain that it isn't going to feel good on just any ol' reel seat though.
I've really grown to like my Premier, even after returning the first two for noise issues, and can only hope the MGX is better. I wanted to use it for jigs/worms, but it is so small and light that it feels as though it won't have enough guts.
I'm am so sold on the Lews TP that I'm having a serious debate with myself if the MGX is really going to be that much better. I guess if worse comes to worse, I could always return it if I don't like it. Does anyone know if Dicks S.P has a good return policy?
