Pros & Cons
Pros
The reel is incredibly smooth and operates really nicely. Paired it w/a shimano clarus 6. Mh rod and spooled it with kast king’s superpower silky 8 20 lb red braided line.
This reel is a blast to use. The 200 version of this baitcaster as well and this one performs just as good.
Cons
The adjustments are almost useless since they are coarse and not a fine tune. It wobbles and flexes on the pole. Haven't taken the reel apart yet to diagnose the issue.
Don't go cheap on baitcaster reels. It behaves like a $30 reel. I am a big fan of the brand but this reel is a bust.

On second trip the left side of the reel fell off while in the locked position.
U could accidentally release the lever and the side cover falls in the water and spool may even come out side the reel.
Price
Was an excellent reel for the money
All are very good reels for the price point.
All in all easily $100 down the drain.
All 3 models were within $10 of each other.
Shipping
My reel arrived on time and was packaged well.
Nice low profile and a fast retrieve ratio.
Reel arrived and i spooled 10ld test braid on it.
Shipped quickly but only time will tell how long it will last.

My other reels i have used are abu garcia revo's which are also very nice reels but not anywhere close in the same price range.
Not as smooth as higher dollar reels but much better than cheaper ones.
