Quality


Feels sturdy and hopefully will stand up to the test of time.


The reel feels sturdy, it reels smoothly and the drag works fine.


Rinsed off everyday with fresh water even though it’s water tight


The bail mechanism engages and disengages very intently.

Price


For under 100$ its a great value.


For the price you pay, it's very much worth every single penny and every captured fish.


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


The reel arrived in perfect condition in a very nice box and is a beautiful piece of machinery.


It came packaged nicely and looks good to.


Blue braid as well for a nice looking setup.

Competitiveness


Wow, this is the best reel that i have ever tried compared to my penn reels that i normally use.


I have a similar reel, shimano, with comparable components it was a lot more money than this one.


The se kapstan does have a nice loud/crisp drag clicker( better than a slammer, not as good as a saragosa).
