I hope you have a better experiance with it than i did.I was fighting a fish and somthing broke in the spool ,so i emailed them never got a reply.After waitng a month or so i went to ct asked the guy in the sports area how to get a hold of them and he just sent me to a guy that repairs reels.Also when i emaled them i made it clear i did not want something for free i was willing to pay for a new spool. Now i will not buy anything that says matzuo on it.
