Great read but I would agree that the price is pretty steep but maybe on par with the rest of the market

TRIED fenwick and was not impressed these hope change my mind

As much as I dont like to admit it, I would like to hear more about the line up of these rods.

I’m super excited about this reel BUT in all honesty i could have done without the blue tooth

Man this makes me wanna try a new build

I may break out my old one and see how I can improve on it
Great review and thanks for the inspiration
