I 100% recommend getting a few if these awesome reel you really cant go wrong From: DJ: NH 8/3/15 Comments: The ardent apex elite compares to the $300+ reels I have used great high end baitcaster for a reasonable price From: Robbie: PA 7/23/15 Comments: Gave the Ardent Apex Elite a try after reading all the good reviews, and I have to say I was very disappointed

Anyhow, I'm not going to rate this new Twin Power XD in terms of smoothness now because it's a pre-production exhibition reel, but if the actual production ones feel the same I'm going to place it high on the smoothness scale
