- The 7.2 gear ratio and 28" line retrieve favor faster presentations, which may be less ideal when a slower retrieve is preferred.
- With a 13 max drag, it is a compact inshore reel rather than a heavy-duty option for larger offshore applications.
- Its 150-size line capacity is well matched to wading and inshore use, but it offers less room for heavier line setups than larger reels.
