Sold my super free and got the japenese version (scorpion 1000) no comparison. While the reel is smaller and holds less line this thing is flat out awesome. The curados are very smooth and trouble free in my opinion but for what they cost and how much plastic parts are on the reel it kind of sucks. Mike I see you are probably usind izor high vis. If you swich to izor
green which is limper and some of the sweetest casting line out there I bet your backlash problem will decrease quite a bit.
