I have a SST3...and I like it so far. Balances out nice with rod i got too. Never had sore arms after a day fishing yet.

Hey Jeremy...been on the lower river lately? Fall was awesome down there...By the way, did you ever get rid of that rainshadow/calcutta setup? I recently built a float rod out of that same blank and Im lovin it...I think we met once up at the harbor inn restaurant in olcott...anyway, take care

Yeah i have heard about the my kiss reels. But only draw back is that they don't come in the color that i want. Which is silver, and i sure do not want the black. And i didn't think Keith was making anymore.....So if you have any links maybe where i could buy one be great! Let me know. CENTERPIN_DRIFT!

mykiss are nice for sure.. but to be honest not the best reel iv fished.... and no longer in production.. startup out of the box wasnt good if u ask me.. a bearing upgrade took care of that... i picked up a 5in Ang Spec AR , Milner Snipe, and a 5in Milner Kingfisher... hands down AWESOME reels! i sold off my MyKiss to get the Snipe.. and no regrets doing so
