Last spring/early summer I purchased a combo from cabelas, 9'9'' 5wt LST rod coupled with the SLA reel and Mastery GPX line. I would have to say that bot the rod and reel far exceeded any of my expectations. Like you said the share a very similar design with some of the older LOOP reels. I own several reels including a Ross Rythm, Ross evo, Fenwick Nighthawk, Battenkill, and the SLA ranks right up at the top of the list. They are extremely smooth(they dont have a clicker) and the drag fuctions pretty well, although it does have a bit more start-up inertia compared the Ross reels. The reel is what says SUPER Large Arbor so choose your size accordingly, I believe mine was for 5-6wt line however I would have liked to get the next smaller size, just my own preference. All in all great reel for the money in my opinion.
