- The 7.5:1 gear ratio favors faster line pickup, which may be less ideal for techniques that call for a slower retrieve.
- The SLIDE Magnetic Cast Control System is built for quick adjustment, but it still adds a feature set that some anglers may not need if they prefer a simpler reel.
- This reel is positioned for serious use and includes several advanced components, which may be more than necessary for casual or occasional fishing.
