LOL....I don't know about that but every step up in reels has been more than worth it. Fishing with 2# test one can't afford to have a drag even bind a little. I started with Shimano Sedonas and kept stepping up until I got to the Stradics I now use. They have and are performing well. My oldest one is 3 years old and I have fished it very hard. The bail spring is very weak in it but it still is going strong but looks horrible. It has caught a lot of fish. My step up this year was going to be the Sustain but the Luvias was 100 bucks cheaper and supposed to be a far better reel. I will give an honest review of the Luvias and if I feel it was a bad purchase I will say so. A guy on the forum...that I think lives in Pennsylvania...steered me to this reel. He and I have followed each others reviews of UL equipment the last couple of years and he just bought one but has not used it. I have sent him a PM about customs.


Regards
