Title: Best deal on a machined aluminum reel.
Product review: I don't see any flaws in this reel. I haven't used/punished it yet, but a visual inspection shows wonderful attention to detail. No sharp edges, all holes chamfered cleanly and all edges buffed out with no wiggle in the spool. It is also lightweight, appears very sturdy and is attractive looking. Drag is smooth as silk. I'll know for sure as soon as I hook my first 20lb dorado on it.Update: Used this reel in saltwater and later it locked up on me so that the handle wouldn't turn and the spool wouldn't release. Fortunately, it performed fine on the saltwater trip and the Pflueger company was excellent in handling the problem, sending me a brand new replacement. I am going to fish Costa Rica next year and this will be the test. BTW, I always soak my reels in fresh water for at least 10 minutes after using them in the salt and dry them well.
