Simply superb!
Very good for small to medium rivers - possibly the best if you can afford them.
Only reservations - spare spools are expensive and baitrunner (I don't often use it) is very quiet.
It's also lighter than some. Picture below of 5000 XTEA and 4000D below.
5000XTEA weight 540g 240 yds 10lb
4000D weight 385g 200 yds 10lb
Note that the baitrunner levers work in opposite directions on the two reels.
On a rod:
Cheers
