Shimano soare ci4+ 500s question

Post by Camdfly » Thu Nov 28, 2019 10:45 am

Was looking to buy this online, but noticed that it is made in Malaysia, and not japan. Does anybody have experience with this reel and can comment on quality/durability?
Thanks

I've got to imagine it's all the same parts being assembled to the same specs. Probably little to no difference at all.... especially with a huge company like Shimano.

It has too much play between rotor and body. Apart from that it works very well.

True true thanks! Guess I’ll just have to buy and see.
