Has anyone gotten their hands on one yet? If so how are they looking?

I checked a few out at the Fred hall show in long beach and they look and feel really sweet can't wait to buy one soon! Better than the 200 for sure.  

Really enjoying this reel so far! My only gripe is the brakes are taking a while to get use to. Two brakes on, and set cast control by lure weight has been the best way to this point. Usually I can have a little looser Cast control. 

1/8 dropshot has been working fine for a few hours of testing. Gonna try lighter soon. Biggest fish has only been a 2.5, no big fish test yet.

 

I'm liking mine. I have the Curado 70XG I put on my finesse jig rod and caught several with it so far and it's done very well. Haven't had any issues setting mine but maybe I just tied on the right jig weight for what it's set at already. 

How does it compare to the 50's you had?

It's just slightly larger and fits in my hands much better. The 50's were too small for me so my hands would end up hurting after a little while because I had to hold onto them so tightly because I always felt I was going to drop it. I think it feels tighter as well, a little better put together. 

Thank you for sharing that info. I have somewhat smaller hands so will stick with my 50's for now.
