Sorry, no experience with the reels but I love the rods. Let us know if the steal price is still on I would love to try one out...

Drycreekvalley,
Cabelas bargain cave has it for $50 off right now :) Not sure if that is the steal he's talking about but it's a good deal regardless!

I got this reel for Xmas last year and it's phenomenal. Light weight and the smoothest drag I've ever felt. I definitely suggest it. Bought another 2 from Cabelas to take advantage of that killer sale they have going on. Running the Proycon on both my drift and float rods.
