It is definitely worth the money, as the build quality and assembly are very good. Its size is like the old 3000 before the compact era... don't expect something huge, bulky, etc. I don't care if it easily collects or if the machine is lighter for this amount of money, the mechanism is designed to withstand and not for finesse applications... In short, for the price it costs and for the purpose it has been manufactured by Shimano, it is difficult to find something similar in terms of smooth operation and durability for hard use over time, always talking about spinning and borderline for light shore lures up to 25 grams... I give it 4 stars because the handle, although it is screw-on, it is unacceptable for it to be breakable... anything else on it justifies the company's name, without being something groundbreaking, like the 19' Stradic FL or the 16' Daiwa BG when they were released for their categories. A trustworthy worker.
