[afterhours]

They cast a country mile, but

I found the reel to be too high maintenance for sustained use.

[afterhours]

high maintainence in what way? bearing cleanings? ???

If you drop it in the sand just once, it's toast!

Also, it needed frequent cleaning.

I would recommend stuffing it with blue grease, if not for anything else, but to keep the inside impervious to the saltwater, and the sand out of the gears.

I got a european model tricked out, and much preferred using my Ambassaduer Mag Elite...

That was of course until PNG converted me over to Spinning Reels!

I still use conventional gear though, when tossing heavier offerings.
