I just got this reel a few weeks ago, at the reel trade in. It is the size 20. I loaded it with 8# flourocarbon (P-Line). It comes with a spare spool for braid if that is what you prefer.
I was able to put it under some fishing conditions on Sunday afternoon, and it worked very well. I also have a Morris baitcaster that is about 8 years old, so I figured it would be O.K. It casts very smooth. I really like the bail and the roller. One thing I was concerned about was the wider arbor spool. The casts were nice and long, which I was worried about that effecting the cast length. I was throwing the small cranks with it.
I would reccommend one if you need a new one. 99 bucks regular. We'll see how she holds up, after baseball is over, she'll be put to the real test.
Also used all my gift cards to get the 100 MPH Bibs, had them with me. Thankfully not that cold ;D

Well, I've been using my new reel a couple of trips now. It has handled florocarbon very well. I didn't know if I would be sold on the narrow arbor of the spool, but, I kind of like it now. It seems to help the line flow off of the spool better on the cast. The drag is real smooth and handles well, and it is a front drag. So far I've used Shad Raps , small square bills, and finesse plastics like small tubes, and finesse jigs with it. I am using 8# P-Line florocarbon, and it came with a spare spool for braid. I would recommend this reel.

Thanks fellers, and Bradd I am going to buy the parka for the 100 MPH suit before long. I think they will be put to good use. I know the couple of times I had the bibs on in the boat they are awesome.
