I have one and like it. I did just replace the reel tho. the reel that came with it has continious antireverse and is nice looking but the damn drag would stick. i would set to real lite and it would fine when checking it but eventially it would hangup and take a pretty good tug to release it....broke of on couple bass and that was that. I only use it when getting real finicky bites. that button is pain for extented use and been considering tearing it apart and trying to but a tiny switch in its place. the road floats in the handle...good and bad thing. when vibrating leave it floating and it kind of acts as a "spring bobber" meaning any little bite shows up at the handle where it is floating. when not using the vibration i use my index finger to keep rod pressed down at the handle so not floating and thus can have better control of jigging action. if can just buy the rod i would go that way. they may have changed the reel by now too, it was bout 5 years ago when bout mine at cabelas.
