Its super durable too, constructed with heavy duty nylon on the base to help it hold up when you shrug it off for lunch and toilet breaks
3000 miles with typically around 25-35lb pack weight the padding in the back is still in near perfect condition, as comfortable as the day I bought it, all buckles work perfectly still, never once opened on dozens of flights
In terms of durability, cast feel, and trouble-free performance, it is a super-excellent reel with perfect scores in everything
It didnt quite have the user-friendly design of the Chimera, nor did it carry a load as well as the Manta or Coulee.
Secondly, even though there is a built-in battery case, the accessibility for many cables isnt ideal
