Shimano engetsu 100hg

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

I have the slower 5.8 70 based Engetsu. It is paired to a Zodias 610 ML and used to throw up to 5 inch senkos and 1/8 oz spider heads on 4 inch Yum Swimming Dingers. Chuck and wait or chuck and wind is how I use mine.

Does the ci4 material flex much or does it feel as solid as the chronarch mgl? Im guessing it has aluminum gears? Is it the same size as a curado 70? Thanks
