Pros & Cons
Pros
I love the baitfeeder option, especially since it is adjustable. The bait clicker works really well it’s not as loud as you’d think as compared to an ambassador 6500s. Bait feeder works great.
The price is very good and reasonable. Nothing to dislike. Durability, quality, lightweight.
Cons
The abu garcia reel is too big for a 20/2000 series sized reel. When applying light pressure on a shop vice to remove the cap the, the cheap pot metal cracked, i now have a useless broken reel.
Water sealing is none existent. Zero care about dirt proofing, zero lubrication.
Highlights
Quality
You can tell the quality difference between this reel and the more expensive okuma but it is less than half the price.
Very smooth, good quality, the baitfeeder feature works great
You should fight the fish with the rod, not the reel.
The problem with the water getting in is that it starts skipping the gears.
Price
The price is very good and reasonable.
Very nicely made at a very good price.
Competitiveness
I use them on my trophy blue catfishing rods, so far i'm up to 6 of them.
I’ve used a dozen brands, but i won’t use any ever again.
Each one has landed fishing over 50lbs, a couple over 60lbs.
