All good so far. Haven't had that monster drum or red put it to the ultimate test but it's handled Redfish up to 25 inches fine. Was a little concerned about 13lbs of drag compated to 20 on my stradics but it's been a non issue. Feels well made with my favorite technical things being a oversized, thick bail. Another thing to note is a slower gear ratio but for popping corks they're good.
