Hi lads, anyone know about these reels, are they worth the money and is the retrieve noticeably slower

Retrieve is OK , they have a slow oscilation which means the line lay for braid is good. I did some work with the Fliegen model which I just picked up last week and love it so far.

I have since loaded up the spool with some 8 kg Gliss line and will be testing that over the weekend.

I was given some of the Gliss line as a freebie at the swords angling show in February and it has been a huge difference to my casting with light soft plastics
I have not fished in two years hoping to change that this year with anything ?

The Gliss line has been working well for the casting and producing good distances , still to try it out fishing though .
