BPS has them for $30. Was wondering how is the reel.

Not a bad buy for 30.  i bought one to use while i was getting one of my pro qualifiers serviced. had it on a 7' crankin stick. it cast fine and reels smooth. The only problems are that they are made of cheap components. Lots of graphite, plastic parts and minium alluminum. I use it when my other reels are being cleaned, but i cant see it lasting through a whole season. Definitly not like the speed spools lews is famous for.
