Do it!

I could get into this long discussion about how they compare to other reels, but the bottom line is for $80 your getting a reel that has allot of good features without breaking the bank.

I have many different rods, from high dollar to yard sale. I can’t say that I have a favorite, for me it’s not really the name on the rod it’s the action of it.
