I have an Induron 300 and tried it out some this spring. The freespool on these reels is incredible, and they cast great. The frame is pretty solid and the gears are decent. The handle is on the small side in my opinion. I wouldn't say I have huge hands but the handle just feels kind of small for the reel size. The 300 size has a non-disengaging levelwind which I also don't really like but it's not the end of the world. The one thing I did not like at all on the reel was the drag. I fish a tight drag in general, and it was very jerky with I set it for what I would usually set with 20lb test. Think of it like a Shimano Catala with the most insane freespool you've ever seen but a crappy drag. That's my honest feedback on the reel. If you could put a better drag washer in there somehow, it would be pretty solid.
