I have one for my 8 wt. and 10 wt. outfits. The are reminiscent of the Redington Behemoth. Great drag, smooth, and over built. The large arbor definitely helps with line pickup. My 8 wt. outfit is used for fishing docks and structure so I wanted something that can take a beating. The 10 wt. outfit is used for tarpon which is 4 months out of the year. I figured for the price and the fact that they are not my everyday use outfits, the $139 price tag and the fact that they are built like tanks is great!
