Wow is all I can say.  This thing casts like a dream, is buttery smooth, and works really well with the Shihru crankbait rod.  I have it spooled with 12 lb P-Line Flouro.    I may have to pick up the 200DC as well.

That reel needs a Gan Craft rod Robert.  

I'm curious to know what other reels impress you?

Redline,

Have you heard/tried the Shimano Metanium MG DC?  It should be like a Calcutta DC on a diet.

How do you like the Zillion HLC compared to the US Zillion?  Is it worth it?

Think of the Zillion HLC as an alternative to the Steez 100H.  I prefer the beefiness of the HLC, and the fact that it comes with the carbon handle.  the purple accents are beautiful too.
