Haven’t been able to use the reel as yet but seems to be a good solid construction with great features and ergonomics. For a cheap reel this really does seem to tick all the boxes. Bought 2. 1 for wet and the second for dry line and I might even think about a 3rd one for intermediate line. I’ve always found leeda products to be very very good for a “budget brand” and these fly reels are no exception.
