Lets hear some opinions on this reel other than its another korean made same as bps abu lews thing.

I had the silver one like 6 years ago..bottom of the lake now has it..I do have the next generation, the blue one. Its bulletproof and smooth as butter. I havent touched the newer white ones but I love my blue.

I have a couple of the older blue XTs.  Like them a lot.   Nice looking with a tough finish, light, very good casters, smooth.  Throws a 10" ribbontail and 3/0 hook on 40# braid a fair distance with one centrifugal brake on and 3 magnetic brakes on.  This is the lowest brake setting I can run with any of my dual brake reels....I don't have very many dual brake reels.  Heck, even have to run my Shimanos with 3 brakes on for best results although I can run 2 if I'm careful.  I can't see 3 magnetic brakes making that much difference.  Especially since I have to run my magnetic brake reels with a lot more than 3...and I have quite a few magnetic brake only reels.

 

I personally feel Pflueger reels are under-rated.

I've had the older silver ones and still have the blue XT.  They were fantastic reels.  I haven't used any of the newer ones.
