I have used it now for a few seasons...but mostly as a bottom fishing reel from a boat. When I first got it I slapped it on a conv surf rod and made a few casts. The bearings are great in that thing, they spin forever. But I bought it as a fluking reel.

After using it for a 2 full seasons I can say they are rugged, smooth and have a very good lever drag (and the price is right) but they are not the most ergonomic reels. The handle feels great but it needs to be at an angle or something because you have to bend your wrist too much (IMO) to reel. It is a solid reel but I relegated it as a backup reel this season and relaced it with a shimano, it just feels better when I reel not as much wirst ache. It was more of a personal thing of feel then anything else.
