So who's going to be the first to buy one of the US Reel SuperCaster baitcast reels?  I got my hands on one of the pro versions that was spooled with mono & a casting plug.  I got to throw it a few times & was really impressed with the way it casts.  But I had someone hold the plug & walk away & the drag didn't seem to be the smoothest.

I want to hear from someone who actually hooks into some good fish with one.  Who's it gunna be?

I bought the first run directly from Ray Scott,

along with his custom rod.

It sucked, big time!

The spool had rough spots that were noticeable on retrieve;

the weight of the reel was heavy and disproportional; and

the spool held WAY too much light line.

At the time they were "Made In The USA", St. Louis as I

recall. Maybe the machining has been improved since

manufacturing was moved off-shore, but I won't be buying

another any time soon.

Well I won't make a final judgement yet, but so far it seems like a reel that would be fun for casting competitions, but not so much for fishing.
