It is a great reel & IMHO - the best small / mid sized spin reel ever ...... Yep better than Morthan Branzino , Stella , Exist .
Packed a lot of punch for a 2500 - awesome impoundment barra spin reel or snapper (placcy) reel
Very envious & it doesn't surprise me what they are worth today ...... I've seen a few for $600-$700 .
