i bought one a week ago the 240 XL... I caught a 25" inch bass with it yesterday... not a monster but it a good ultra light fight. I will tell you this NO WIND KNOTS so far.. I use braid and this is the primary reason that this reel was created. I was in the keys the first time that I had seen it and a guy was fishing off the boat we were on ( guided Tour) catching pig red fish on it. The 240 XL is a little heavier and my primary reason for buying this one was that it feels more durable. I love the way it cast .... like it states a country Mile. It is smooth and i did have a lose drag on it yesterday while catching and the drag was smooth as well. You can pick up the 240XL at Boaters world in Warwick. I know they have them becasue when i went there to check one out they didn't have it in stock. I contacted the VP of USReel and she sent all 9 of them to boaters world to me. I would be more then happy to meet somone on the shore so that they may check it out. I love it. the one that I purchased has a brass ball bearings in it. the warranty is a one yr extended i purchashed the extend for $34 at boaters world ( this includes upgrades too). I have given it alot of hard throws with various plugs and it launches soft plastics farther then anything that i have ever used.
The plastic on the 230 sx is actuatlly carbon fiber according to the manufacturer
