Antares DC, the long sought after digital control brake version Antares (Calais in the US) is now in market.

The new Antares DC has improved the DC system to have 4 casting modes(L, M, A and W) and 8 strength of fine adjusting, which is adjustable by dial without opening the reel. The 4 modes set the brake to appropriate for various casting situations.
Long casting (L); Achieving the longest casting distance with relatively heavy, metal rigs in calm wind condition.
Multi (versatile) casting (M); The mode is the most likely to be used among the 4 modes. Suite the best for top water, crank baits, spinner baits and etc.

Has anyone actually used this reel? I want to know how it truly handles skipping, and wind. Also does it have any effect on say a er errant cast that you hit a tree? They sound awful nice, but I wanna talk to someone who actually has used it, and how it performed. Is it trully a anti bird's nest/backlash reel, or is it just a little better tuned?
