Hey Finnz922 I don't own one but I met an angler here in Korea and I tried his out.

Casting wise its castable, nothing crazy cause it doesn't have any of the nice tunings done to it or sv spools. The guy who let me try his out told me in Korea people love to use it here especially cause most people fish finesse 90% of the time here and cause mostly everyone fishes from the bank and target close targets. More than the casting the jaggler's special retrieve clutch(?) is great for reeling in extra slack from jerk baits, twitching Jackall slim shakes on wacky rigs (literally Korea's favorite worm), and slowly working free rigs while you need your other hand free to eat a sandwich, check your phone, or smoke haha.

hopefully that helps a bit!

It has 2pin centri brake for boat jigging.

So it is castable.

The Daiwa Viento has mag brake though. :lol:

Thanks. Truth be told, I have really just like the way it looks. I had a Viento and didn't hate it.

Used the Air Red Tune a bunch, which has the same braking system. It is castable, and you can use heavier shimano braking blocks (from their og braking system) for more control.
