You ought to see the Japanese market Abu's...very sweet!

Vhawk they do take a little more adjustment and "feel" to set them right in comparison to other BC reels regarding casting. Also if you have a neww reel it will loosen up requiring some additional adjustment.

They are a good real with a wonderful history and reputation. Get out and practice with it using a rubber or plastic casting plug.

I'll tell ya another good value performer is the new Quantum line of BC reels. WOWEE they ae sweet.
