Excellent reel.
I've used the reel for several weeks now. There is nothing I don't like about it. It's very smooth and the tolerances are close. Feels solid, like it will last. Drag is smooth.

This is my second Streamlight #3 reel. Lightweight and reliable with a decent drag system. No need to pay 3x the price for other "name brand" reels.
