i cant really tell much difference between it or any other of my abu's. if your goin to get another reel, i'd suggest the 6500 chrome ct/cs rocket, i hate magnetic brakes, sand is forever getting in my mag elites.

Chris,

Have been and still am a hardcore Penn 525 fan for general beach work but picked up one of these for a lighter beach rod and I love it. The last abu I had was the green elite and swore I'd never buy one again for the rough and tumble of the beach but the new red high-speed is lovely
