My daughter has one on one of her Shimano rods. Personally... I like it more than the 3-4 Shimano CI4s we have. IMO it is smoother. The drag is also really nice. Also very sensitive. It doesn't take much to go from not enough drag to enough to drag in a 20lb fish so be easy on the drag. The only thing that kills me about it. No reverse. Totally locked out. No switch, etc. Just not there. Depending on what one is using it for it is a lower gear ratio reel than many. She uses it for medium depth cranks bass fishing and I bought it specifically for the gear ratio. Slower retrieve than the CI4s.
