i am thinking of getting one and was wondering if they are low profile. i have small hands and was just curious if they were bulky or pretty streamlined

If you are asking if they are a low profile reel, then yes they are. If you are asking if they are small for a low profile reel, I don't think so. But reel size hasn't ever been a big concern of mine.

I used to own 2 but replaced them after a few years use. I had one of the older ones that had the 6 pin centrifical brake, and one of the later ones with the external brake system. I would compair the newer ones in size to an Abu Revo. BTW I never had a single bit of trouble with either of them, I just sold them when I bought some newer stuff..........I only have so much room.

The newest models of Extreme reels are extremely low profile.  As mentioned before, they seem to be modeled a whole lot like the Revo's.

A friend of mine has 3 new ones and I have small hands, they feel real good in my hands.
