How are they holding up?

Re: Gear Question
I had a Scorpion 1000xt with the Brenius 7:7 gears I sold a few months ago. It was smooth but I only used it for bottom contact apps.
I have 2 Exscence DC 8:1 reels. Both smooth and solid after 4 plus years. They get used for everything. Frogs, bigger jigs, topwater like whopper ploppers and chatterbaits and buzz baits. No problems at all

Re: Gear Question
Do you feel any issues with torque?

Re: Gear Question
No. But then again I dont use heavy baits with my 50E, as that wasnt its designed purposes. But, I have no issues with 1/4oz weight and a plastic bait swimming/buzzing. I use more of a UV Speed worm type bait with it, or even lighter stuff when I throw in the Yumeya spool.

Re: Gear Question
I put a lot of use on my Alde/7.7:1 combos, and they are as good as it gets in my hands. Super smooth, plenty of power, great durability. Throw topwater, bigger jerkbaits and jigs quite a bit, but love that setup for throwing chatterbaits. Normally throwing 1/2oz with a mix of burning and stop and go and they have held up perfectly catching reds and bass in thick grass.

I saw a set of gears for $48
