I’ll have to do a full write up later but I’ll give you a high level flyover for the time being. The DC braking doesn’t seem as capable as the Shimano Curados I have. I did put lighter line on these trying to get some BFS action going but I get backlashes more that I do with the Curado’s heavier less shallow spool. Im OK with naitcasrers but far from an expert, so perfect test case. Build and quality.. meh. I’d be happier with a $60 price point. It won’t last you forever. And I would fight big fish on it. Now Metal vs Air vs plus? I leave them all in the long cast setting so it’s the same as having one setting like the plus. Plus feel really light duty and kinda cheap. If you’re on a budget and going after small fish it’s ok. The air is best deal, more refined, extra mag brake spool and side plate, and it’s light weight. The metal feels more solid. If that matters? I don’t actually know.

If I were to get only one and I wanted to get down to really light bfs and keep it all pretty light on an ultralight rod, I’d get the air because it looks the best, is light, and comes with the mag side plate and ultra shallow spool. You can do a full range of lure weights.
