I can hear Toby already, , but who would really want to own one of those hunks of chit? A shop in Falmouth now stocks them and for the life of me I don't get it. Get a Daiwa Saltiga if you want to pay big dough. I have played with both and at least those reels seem like they "might" be worth it.

OK Toby, you may fire at will.

Why even try.........

Guess it depends on the expectation. I've never sent mine in yet...

Dare I ask how much the upgrade costs? I don't think I want to know.

Uh oh.

Upgrade could be $200 or more. Not including the $35 annual service fee.
