From what I understand a lot of guys are using them for boat duty only.

I decided to not get one after looking around at them and talking to people who have used them and reading all the reviews I could find.

For $150 more (550) you can usually fine a nice used VS 150 or 200.

Good luck if you decide to go that route.

I think it's a great reel for the boat, but doesn't hold up that well in the surf, from the people I've talked to who've used it in that way. If you're not going to dunk it, it'll probably hold up OK. A used VS for a few bucks more is the best value.

I think that if a bass takes even 150 yards of braid from you your drag is waaay too light... just IMO
