Going very well thank you very much!
The reels are always going to have their detractors, mainly those who have never tried them, however as a recreational user (like many) I cannot for the life of me see the value in paying upwards of $1300.00+ for a reel I might use every couple of weeks. The 15 year warranty and the couple of free services on the 10000 was the clincher for me.
They are holding up well enough for me. I am happy with them. That said I also own other Shimano, Diawa and Penn rods and reels etc, so I have a reasonable cross section of gear from plastic flicking to deep jigging and electric reels to Penn game lever drags.
Regards,
Dave.
