Leave it to those crazy Japs to make an already expensive reel even more ridiculously priced! For an extra $320 you get a fancy handle/knobs, 7.3:1 instead of 7.1:1 retrieve and a weight savings of 5.36 ozs vs 5.6 ozs; sounds like a smokin' deal to me!

800 $ for a reel… or you just get a Shimano Curado and a bad ass power tackle rod and spend the rest at the yellow rose! I vote for option number two..

UMMM, two boat paymants for one reel, OUCH! Now I understand one reel being better than another, but once you get to the top of each manufacturer how much better can they be? I would be afraid to fish with one of those, hell I would be afraid to hold one. I will definitely take a look at one of yours Andy when you get your dozen in though.
