Yes it's worth it. They are great for texas rigging worms or jigs.

I use the Mag Force but, without the twitchin' bar. I had a really strange thing happened with mine; on a cast, the line somehow got caught under the hood and the force broke my rod. I was throwing a 5/8 oz. c-rig. Once you get it "dialed in" it's pretty good. Have you tried the Daiwa Exceller?


At least my boat and truck are paid for, woo hoo!

You might want to check the Exceller out, I have had a pretty good experience with it. Of course I don't have a lot to compare it to except having traded in a abu silvermax for it and I have been loaned a Shimano Cruxis to try for awhile. I think if I buy another reel it will be the Daiwa HSTA, it costs more but, I sure like the way it feels in my hand.

the megaforce is worth every penny. it works great for jigs. it has a great gear ratio and is very affordable.

I had one and broke the line guide on a mediocre hook set. Ripped it right out, lost the fish. It seems to be a great reel except for the line guide. I'd buy another if they changed the guide to metal instead of plastic.
