If it's on sale cheaper than a regulat C3 then ok. The backlash setup will greatly reduce your distance on a cast.
I purchased its big brother the 6600 back in the spring. Seems to be a very solid reel. After you get the hang of casting you may decide not to use the anti-backlash feature to get more distance. But it is a good aid to help get the hang of using a bait casting reel. It makes a good trolling reel also. Just my $.02
