Very beautiful mechanism, good ergonomics and comfortable in how it sits in the hand. Very smooth in the retrieve due to the large gear and for spinning I would give it 5 stars if it cost 50 euros less, as at the price levels of, for example, a Stradic FM, there is no reason for someone to choose this mechanism. Since I used it once and only for light shore jigging with lures of 20-30g, I have to say that the smoothness has been lost since the first fishing... at the same time I have a Nasci 5000 which I used for this job and it hasn't been affected as much even though I've used it several times... the Zync cast gears are just fine and keep the cost levels low, but they will never be cold forged aluminum, nor of course steel, like the Slammer IV DX which is also priced around there... Therefore, it loses one star for the price it costs and one for its gears, since Daiwa has remained on this issue somewhere around 2016...
