I know I'm not going to do a good job explaining what it means to me for one I'm a poor typer but could talk you ear off about the " magical " feel of the Presso on the end of the eradicator slow taper special and what an unbelivable combination that is. For starters I would say it appears that durabilty without matineance as I'm NOT the kind of guy that can take reels apart and clean and service them as they probaly need to be and too lazy to send them off somewhere and wait 2 months to get them back nor the couple of times that I did do that have a very good expierance. I've had the Presso for 3 years and for those that know me I'm blessed to live on a lake and work from home which allows me to fish for 2-3 hrs in the evenings 360 day's a year meaning my equipment get's used a lot. 3 year's in the Presso is as smooth as the day it came out of the box. Using 2# gamma and often throwing a .5 gram Gekibin jig head I can cast effortlessly small jigs and the low inertia and smoothness of the reel combined with the sensitivity of the slow taper special is just " magical " . I don't break off on fish very often and have had some unbelivable fights recently with a 5 lb. spotted bass ( Kentucky ) that took every bit of 15 to 20 minutes to land but land I did. I'll say again I know it's not for everyone but for me it gives me a fun factor that's off the charts. Scott
