Just a side point, I'm convinced that the marketing is wrong on this reel as mine looks like a cast alloy body 'not advanced polymeric'. If you have one take off the front cone and look close, it's sprayed cast alloy in my eyes. It says polymeric on box and all over internet, maybe this is why the 507 seems more substantial and heavier than 506.

The first thing j would say is that the spool quality isn't great at first. I had to sand down one or two sharp bits before spooling it with line. But it's ok now. <br /><br />Trotting wise I had no problem at all, the only bedding in I had was after playing a fish. It is a heavier reel than the 506mk II but seemed to balance ok with a Drennan floatmaster. As for the clutch - I still don't know the answer as to the reliability as I've not had a fish on it capable of stripping line - time will tell!
