I was curious but wasn't going to try one of these reels. Retail, (the Shimano price) on the thing is around $750 and even if it worked as advertised, that seemed to be pricey for a single speed conventional reel. However it does have sufficient drag and is supposed to cast a long way with the electronics. What made me a player was a bottom dweller deal. I got it new for $400. Figured now it is worth a try. If it works out well, I'll probably have a rod built on an OTI 7 1/2 blank for the portability.
TJ, are there any of those blanks left?
And Russ, I fished the Mitchells loaded up with mono when I was growing up too, but wouldn't you really rather have a Stella loaded up with Depthfinder?
