Advantages: to many to list Disadvantages: none to my knowledge
...where do i start about this reel, what a cracker. in my opinion it truelly is a great reel.
Coming from shimano's range of big pit reels and very similair to the previous best selling bio master, the xsa carries many new and improved features.
