Highlights
Quality
The reel feels sturdy, it reels smoothly and the drag works fine.
The reel feels sturdy and well made.
Rinsed off everyday with fresh water even though it’s water tight
While holding bail and turning the handle i was impressed there was absolutely zero play.
Price
For under 100$ its a great value.
It is reasonably priced, offering great value for money.
In my honest opinion, for the price you won't find a better reel.
But overall it is a good reel for the money in my opinion.
Shipping
Fast retrieve and comfortable in your hand.
The one i got must of been a defective one but customer service is great and fast.
Packaging/appearance
Finally, the box it comes in is very nice and makes this reel very gift-able.
The reel arrived in perfect condition in a very nice box and is a beautiful piece of machinery.
Blue braid as well for a nice looking setup.
I also really like the look of it, it pops.
Competitiveness
It has a very sturdy feel and is slightly heavier than the competition.
Wow, this is the best reel that i have ever tried compared to my penn reels that i normally use.
The se kapstan does have a nice loud/crisp drag clicker( comparable to a penn).
The se doesn't have the fancy finish and cosmetic touches of the elite, but performance wise i can't tell the difference.

Would recommend selecting a size smaller than you think you want say buy a 2500 if you are really looking for a 3000
