Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.
