My first impression is these are some sweet reels. They look a little odd but it grows on ya. The extra large arbor really picks up the line and made putting backing on a breeze. They seem very light as compared to the Ross Evo’s. I’m pretty sure Ross has them beat by just a little but not enough that I can tell. The plastic clicker is a little dorky but it sounds cool.
I got the (LS2’s) at Sierra for $119 each but they went very fast. For a lightweight large arbor “lifetime” reel I think I got my moneys worth and then some. Only time will tell but so far I am very pleased.
