Well you certainly have presented a good looking introduction and summary of features. I've watched a few of the videos you post to this site and they are of high quality. The reel looks like it could be a good option for some types of fishing, but I primarily fish with very light tackle for casting small lures and bait for panfish. I do use bait casters for bass fishing and have a thumb educated to feathering a revolving spool, but not for one below the rod.
