I know several guides who use these reels daily and now most are parts of reefs lol

Heard they are real light and smooth just not saltwater ready after a year of fishing or less

Most went back to Shimano and few are now trying the Lews
I guided long enough to know that anytime you give a customer a bait caster you are asking for trouble. I am really hard on my reels but also take pretty good care of them. I have had issues with a couple but I've mailed the back and had a new one in 3 or 4 days. The concept A's and C's are what most guys are using I have had one of each but prefer the cheaper Inceptions. No doubt if I was guiding and a customer wanted a bait caster I'd give them on older model Curado or Chronarch. I just had bad luck with a couple of new Curados and gave up on them because the older ones were so good.
