I have the Biomaster XTA - great reel and realy like the bait runner front spool drag system - very handy.

The Biomaster XTB I think is the newer version of the XTA with the same bait runner drag system. But the spool is no set back like the XTA.

The XSA and XSB are similiar but dont have the Bait runner drag but have a quick Drag system instead.

One thing to check on all is whether it has a Spool Guard as the XTA dosnt and line can get trapped under the spool. But like the XTA I dont think the XSB has it either.

There is a XTB on Ebay at the moment open for bid.
XSB there also for £99.99

Picked mine up last week from local shop for 109 pound which is around 120 euro. Could get it slightly cheaper but rather hand it to a local shop.

Used it yesterday found my cast felt easier, reeling in is the smoothest Ive felt yet. My only issue is to make sure on your first cast the bail arm is over, mine hadnt clicked and I watched my weight and rig fly into the distance haha
Also it comes with 3 spools (well mine did) one aluminium and two I think graphite , gonna save the aluminium for some backing and braid.

Considering the price difference between it and the navi get yourself a biomaster.
