I fish this reel primarily on trout streams with a 5 wt. rod. I put on a S.A. Sharkskin GPX Taper fly line and 20lb RIO dacron backing.
I love how diverse the drag is. I can put a stop on a fish, or I can allow it to run as I chase it down stream.
The reel is as useful as it is sexy.
I've had the reel for a week now, and fished it hard. The reel showed no weaknesses and I'm really impressed
