I have a couple of those and they are pretty rugged. I put a custom power handle on it I got from Japan. Used it in the surf initially but then on a Terez Spinning/Jigging rod. The thing is a brute. You can really load up the drag on that reel. Worth the $. (Just send it in for a check up every so often) Everyone who uses it comments on the heaviness of the bail...I love it as a manual. I wish they made a bait-runner reel like that.
You will like it.
