Anyone have any experience with the ABU Salty Stage Concept Free?

Thinking of getting this reel, I need a baitcaster for the bay. Seems pretty decent, and from my understanding it comes with an extra spool. Anyone have any experience with it?

I have one purchased from a big international vendor with a JP homepage... Was pretty cheap incl. shipping.
Yes, it comes with an extra spool. At least when bought in Japan.
I think it is a good reel for the price. It looks good on its own but may be difficult to match with a rod (on color). Solid construction and good performance especially with 10-30 gram lures. Not great with very light lures (3-5 gram) so I do not use it very often as I have many other reels.

That's good to hear. I will use it with 15g lures mostly at the Bays and Estuarys. I was wondering if it had good construction because the price was quite low for the amount of stuff you get.
