It's a decent reel, used them when filming with Pendlington this summer over a couple days.
Only down fall I had with them was the drag, it is a bit touchy.
Much like an MR3, creeps a bit if to loose and a bit to tight for my liking when tightened down to stop creep. Hard to pull out line when dropping rigger a few feet.
Could be a maintenance issue, some more grease, not sure.
Does have a nice big arbour, big paddle handles, free spool, all which I like in a reel.
Still like the Rapala Shift over the NC or the Concept. They need to be greased and set up before using but they have really held up for me over the last few seasons with minimal issues.
Just my 2 cents.
