Bought this for my youngest son , stunning reel. His older brother has the larger version which can control Atlantics and big kings with ease and this will be getting tested for coho this fall. Loads of line capacity . Super smooth drag system and robust reel. I’m an old Hardy Cascapedia reel guy, to be honest I think this just edged mine but I’m comparing a Loop 21st century reel to a Hardy 20th century designs and manufactured…and a big king destroyed one of my Cascapedia so hence the Loop edges it!! You’ll never be disappointed with a Loop reel or rod for that matter. Service was excellent, great communication and fast well packed delivery .
