I've read the customer reviews and they are very favorable. Does anyone here have actual hands on with this reel ? Was wondering if this reel is worth the current sale price.

I have a 2006 model and I like it very much. I had it on a extreme 6' med rod. I went to a 7' med pro finesse rod and now I love it. I throw weightless plastics with it and it does very well. I think its well worth the sale price.
