From: Tim: Manassas, VA 1/31/16 Comments: Been using this reel for over a year now

We caught fish using the 710 Heavy Flippin Rod and a 3/4-ounce weight and 80-pound-test braided line penetrating heavy matted vegetation with a creature bait and found that we were able to set the hook well and pull solid keepers out of the grass quickly

Got mine from Japan a year ago and its easily my favorite of all the reels i own

Other features include a line indicator knob and Japanese stainless steel bearings
