Does anyone have experience with BFS reels. I am interested in getting one, but they are a bit expensive, so I want to make sure they are worth it first. I would probably get one of the first two on this list:

If you're open to older reels, I highly recommend the Shimano Core 50mg7 or 09 Aldebaran Mg7, which is the JDM version. eBay has quite a few.
Lightweight and casts a mile. One of my favorite reels and caught most of my fish with. Good luck!
