Awesome looking reel. Hopefully in a few years they'll come out with a cheaper version.

since there not out yet. rumored price, seen a couple boards where that price is mentioned but it's probably a regurgitated rumor bouncing around. but knowing shimano. sounds about right

What bass reel is going to handle 25lb yellow fin? I've caught my share of YF and 25lbrs would beat the hell out of any bass reel.

The folks at Shimano are brilliant at marketing and know what they are doing. I wouldn't pay $500 for that reel, but I'd bet it will be priced right when it does come out.

That reel would be a sweet yt set up for throwing the waxwing.

over kill for for fresh water bass & level wind for anything other than calicos is radonkilous

Don't know about the price but I'd like to fish one!

while not a yellowtail, cobia do put up a hell of a fight.
oh almost forgot 20kg is equal to 44lbs.

20kg is equal to 44lbs.

I didn't say impossible, I said beat the hell out of.
