Highlights

Quality


The magnetic braking system works flawlessly and can be dialed in for both light and heavy lures.


Over all every piece is well made, and crafted with the user in mind.


Smooth drag when fighting a hard-hitting fish and no backlash when the real is setup right at a casting distance of a 125 feet.


Opened the side to oil and the pin broke off when putting back together.

Price


I am happy with this reel at this price point.


Best real per ounce for the money.


For this money, this may be the best one to get.


The price is right for people like us:)

Shipping


It has a wonderfully fast and smooth retrieve.


Used it one time, came home and ordered three more.


They went been on sale so my second one is due to arrive tomorrow .


Ordered this reel to attach to a new fishing pole i got for a trip i just took.

Competitiveness


In my opinion, this reel compares well against reels for double the cost.


I have large hands and it still feels larger than my other baitcasters (mostly shimano slx, quantum pro series, and an abu revo sx.


I’ve only had it a few weeks, so i can’t speak to the longevity of it, but this reel rivals my other baitcaster which cost more...  Read More
