So far so good. Have a total of 3 now. Using them mainly for moving baits and have been very pleased. No complaints at all. I did just pick up a zillion and will compare the 2 reels side by side. Also have the Steez A. Really happy with it. The Steez spoils you for sure. Both the Steez and Steez A are excellent reels. Back to the Tatula SV, still feel it's the best reel in it's price point.
