Editor insight:
Sticking with tradition, Shimano has once again improved on an already awesome reel. The Hagane body is something that really stands out to me. It’s sturdy and seems to make this reel indestructible. It’s not cheap, but it’s the kind of reel that you’ll not be replacing for years to come. It’s a sound investment!
