Would not have believed it unless I tried it out for myself.

I have fished this reel a lot the past 2 weeks. Due to audio issues have not been able to post a couple of decent videos of me using this reel. I don't really know what to say about it. None of us will catch one more single fish because of the reel...but....fishing with his thing takes the fun and pleasure up another notch. Stan you ask the question about what the Exist can be like if the Presso LTD is this good? Well my experience is when you take those steps up in JDM gear it really does get better. Knowing me I will eventually get an Exist just so I can speak about it. I used this reel on the super ultra light to land an 17 inch largemouth this past Tuesday. During the battle with the fish everything about the reel was just like silk....the drag....the line coming off the roller.....no flex in the frame......it was just perfect. The line lay on the reel has been great during my usage. I'm going to be laid up for a while after the 26th with a new hip....so I will not be fishing and spending gas money. Knowing me I will be buying something out of Japan. Here is link to the video of the largemouth....the reel is just purring as the fish pulls out drag.
