Still could be an option with a different rod....
The MC reels cast well.
If the demo rod had a tennis ball, or something similar it will not give you an accurate example of its capability.

You can fly a jig a good distance with one of these reels and the right rod.
Maintenance of the bearings comes into play - but its easy service.
