I had two of the previous generation and I have two of this generation. The Hydros is truly in a class of its own IMO. Yes it's made overseas but it's a great reels. No noticeable start up with the drag, nice drag adjustment and it had a decent sound. The finish is a very nice matte anodizing. I have have the purple and blue colors and they are amazing in person. If you can't or don't want to spend $400+ on a reel take a good look at the Hydros. I love how they are doing limited color runs now too.
