Just a follow up, it’s 3 years later and this reel is still humming along nicely for me. While I’m not utilizing it for a true BFS application, it has found it’s niche on small hardbaits in the 1/16 - 1/4 oz range. It’s performed flawlessly within it’s intended scope, I have no complaints. I’m curious if anyone else that owns one still has it in the rotation or has it gone down to the minor leagues ?
I see it’s still available to purchase new on that overseas auction site, apparently the demand is still there …
