reel is amazing, extremely powerful for the size. braid was also very good, can't believe the strength in relation to the line thickness, at only 0,12mm its bloody string and casts a mile. line wasn't fully loaded, I tend to under load rather than over load my reels - less wind knots etc, however this one was getting bit too low and would have probably unspooled and loaded a tad bit of backing soon. only sold as got a great deal on a new setup that I couldn't pass up and needed this cash to fund the new purchase::tight:
