I bought two of these reels to use on my shorter feeder lines, 35/55mtrs, I use shimano ultegras 5500xtd’s for longer chucks, first impressions are, they are a quality reel, as you would expect, they’re slightly heavier than I thought they would be, but, as you know, the feeder sits on a rest, most of the time, the line lay is superb, no need to add or remove washers, to get the line right, which is a big bug bear of mine, and the winding or cranking power is excellent. The only down side to them, is, they won’t fit every type of reel seat, they won’t fit my acolyte 12ft plus feeder, or my matrix xc 60gram feeder rod, due to the chunky fittings on the reel, overall, I would recommend these reels, and if they don’t fit your rod seat, cadence are excellent at customer service and returns, I have used facility before???.
