Pros & Cons
Pros
Reel casts and retrieves very smoothly and quietly. Easily matches the quality of my other penn midrange and okuma reels. Not quite as silky smooth as my more expensive penn reels, but they seem just as reliable and only about a third of the cost.
This reel is great for saltwater and freshwater fishing where larger species are be ing caught. Plan on using it to troll for trout and salmon in the sierra nevada’s this summer. It's a great rod for bottom fishing and mooching for salmon on puget sou... Read More
Ready to be strung up with mono backer and 30lb braid. Lots of stripers on my first outing. Makes it super easy to identify a possible hookup.
The rekon level wind is the perfect setup for trolling. The ratio of the reel made reeling in very easy. Looking forward to using it, will update after landing first spring chinook.
Can’t beat the bite clicker.

Price
Definitely good bang for the buck here.
Overall, i would say that this real is a great bang for your buck!
This reel is pretty nice for the price.
With the cost of more parts being high, i could get a new reel for less, so it was time to retire it.
Shipping
I wasn’t sure what to expect for a line counting reel at this price point, but i was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived.

The drag adjustment tightens and loosens drag in small consistent increments which means you can set the drag precisely how you want it without worrying about line breakage from overtightening
