hmongkidBee Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 the cruxis sucks in my opinion. It's too big for me. I bought mine in March and tried to get used to it, but like I said it felt really wide, and so I sold it. For $75 you can get a revo s or something similar. Just don't waste your time with this reel. As far as mechanics go, it is pretty smooth, but I just wasn't comfortable with it. Quote
barroncooper Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I think they are pretty close to the same size and frame as the curado200dhsv. they have an identical profile at least. I bought 3 of them from academy for gifts this year. they were on sale for 39.99. I thenk they're a decent reel. has a lot of features that the higher end reels have. but yeah it is kind of big.

The Rooster Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I looked at some of them and they seem to be very nice reels. Of course there are better but if you get them at a deal like $40 as the last guy did then you really got a bargain. At $75 they're still OK. Only $99 when new and retail priced originally though.
