TSURINOYA WHIRLWIND baitcasting XF50

I love XF50, for several reasons. It's been my first Bfs reel: previously, as a total beginner, I was trying Bfs with a definitely not Bfs reel, with frustrating results (to be honest, now my skill has improved, and with that non Bfs reel I can now cast quite accurately 4 grams).
With XF50 I immediately noted better results and, thanks to this, I didn't give up with casting.
Brakes are really strong in my opinion, very rarely I exceeded half of the brake scale. The spool is not definitely light, but it doesn't seem to prevent from throwing light lures, even below 3 grams. It's advisable to load the spool at half (or only a little bit more) of its capacity, and results get even better. There is no sound on drag and the reel is not light weight, but they are not so big troubles. Nowadays better reels are available in terms of construction, weights, castability... but XF50 remains something special, considering its price too. I love it
