Got three of these and for the money they are very difficult to beat. No problems with the build quality, as opposed to the very tacky finish to the other MAP reel I bought, which was a CFS30 front drag. The plastic parts on that have lost their gold finishings already - the only saving grace being an excellent handle.
The RDX30 is a very refined reel for bargain-basement money - I paid £19.99 each, which has sorted my waggler, light feeder and bomb rods out. With nine spare spools for that little lot, every eventuality should be covered.
