Purchased 2 of these reels thinking the combination of stainless gear and brass pinion would be good. After a small GT (8 - 10kg) one reels gear set got sloppy (backlash) and rough. Gears were replaced under warranty. Placed new gears in unit and after another small GT of about 12kg gears are rough and sloppy again. The second reel has not caught a fish yet and the gears are already rough just from pulling poppers. I read a review online about the material in the gear set being backwards, stainless gear, brass pinion. Then a longtime engineer friend verified the same thing saying that the pinion should be stainless as it take all the torque. If you plan to use these reels for hard pulling fish, or larger poppers, I say stay away. I am going to look into returning mine. I wasted my money. Just read on Alan Hawk's website that Quantum has discontinued making this reel.Read full review

Product seems to be everything that I expected from the specs I read. Can't wait to get a fish on it.
