I have the 3.8LA model and can say that the reel has work quite well for me.I found out shortly after buying this product that it was discontinued and that I could no longer by a spare spool or parts as was my intention when I orignally purchased this product. A real disappointment. Customer Service:
when E mailed about the problem of spool the apologized but could not do anything.For a $600.00 plus reel apologizes do cut it in my books! Similar Products Used:

, from San Diego, CA, USA Summary:
Believe me or not - its up to you. For $100 you could have a better reel than mine performed. As I said, the reel looked great "out of the box" - but once you get it wet, look out.
I'm done with Islander and bought a Tibor. Worlds of difference. Customer Service:
Not good. I basically informed them by e-mail of the problems I had and, since it was a brand new reel, whether they would allow the shop I bought it at to take it back in exchange for a different model.
Needless to say, my e-mails went unanswered for days and I finally had to call and Islander begrudgingly allowed me to return the reel. Similar Products Used:
Tibor, Abel

, from Seaside Park, NJ Summary:
This has to be the best reel (L.A 4.5) out there. It Blows all the others (especially Abel Super & Tibor) away. The 4.5 has a 1/2 larger diameter than the Riptide and weighs less, and has slightly better capacity. The Abels can't compare. The Super 11 is 3/4 of an inch less than the 4.5.and it's less expensive too!!! Customer Service:
Never had to use them Similar Products Used:
Tibor Riptide, Abel
