Its a good solid reel a clunkier version of a van sthal.drags are excellent but if ur gonna dunker u gotta clean em out every now an again.Takes about one minute.Not excactly braid friendly although i don't really have much trouble wit em cept for needles which I think are knot makers to begin wit. line roller squeals like a stuck pig wit any pressure on it but still works fine an gets better wit age.Some don't like the anti reverse clicking but I kinda enjoy it as all my old reels made some kinda winding noise an i got use to the cadence of it.Been usin em a long time an i had one problem where I could no longer fish.i made the gears jump on a snag. i think i was able to work it out an keep fishin i don't remember. Parts are easy to come by an u can break the whole reel down an have it back together in short time.it's the workhose of the Penn Line up Very dependable an a good reel for the money.bail less is the only way to go.
