One of the best reels ever built because it was "Overbuilt‼️" Solid as a rock, we fished these for years on the Bass tours, nearly indestructible. Solid CI4 body, Ultra Strong Hagane gears and a Titanium bail that easily bends back if you step on them. They can be used in Saltwater and last years if they're maintained but, fresh or brackish is where I'm most comfortable using them.
