thats a decent reel, I had one of the earlier models years ago fished with it once wasnt really to my liking I took it back and went to another store and bought a daiwa pro caster x153i. A friend of mines father in law who fishes alot of tournaments between missouri and kansas swears by the 1420MG reel, he says they are priced right and if he has a problem with one of them he can go to any walmart when hes on the road and pick up another.
