Got the new reel today. It’s a big bugger.First impression is it’s smooth as bee’s knee. No detectable backlash, the bait runner and drag seem to work very well. The main drag seems very smooth as well. Big, comfortable handle. Plenty of leverage. Came in a nice bag with a spare spool and extra fiber washers for the drag system. I spooled it up with 30 lib spiderwire EZ braid. Couldn’t find any of the Stealth Smooth. Looking forward to tomorrow morning…..early…..probably be done by 7:30 am.Have my eye on a 9’ ugly stick medium action rod for playing with these beasts.Rg
