I recently got a left handed SX. I used to fish Abu 6500, and 7000s exclusively over the penns and Shimanos. This thing is awesome! The drag is silky smooth. Getting used to a lever drag inshore takes some getting used to, but I really like it. The machined pieces, rather than a cast spool and frame make for very tight tolerances. The spool will spin quite a while if you just spin it with your thum in freespool.
I fish from a boat. These things would probably need mags if you were casting them.
