USA Summary:
I have an 8-9-10 that I use with a 9'6" 8 wt steelhead rod. Works fine, good disc drag. Strengths:
Drag is strong and smooth, good for big fish. Weaknesses:
None Customer Service:
Excellent - I dropped it down a flight of concrete steps and bent the reel seat (clearly NOT covered by the warranty!). I sent it back with a check for $20 and it was returned fully repaired in about 10 days. Similar Products Used:
