has anyone had experience with this real? is it worth it or just better with the 6061?

Great reel for small spoons & Halis-- too heavy for lighter lures imo. Outside jigging spool often freezes up; rendering it useless. Still love the reel tho'.

I have two of them that I use on Wicked Rods, for Eyes and Perch.  They are great reels.  I do not fish out in the open much so I do not have any freeze-up issues.  I also have the 6061 reels on a couple of pan-fish rods that I use for Crappie.  Excellent as well.
