Pros & Cons

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

Pros

Great size for backpack. Drag is infinitely adjustable to add a bit more game when i want to play. I own the ax 2000, which is now the ix 2000.

It is smooth and casts well. The shimano is much lighter while feeling more solid. Just wore it out from hours and hours of casting.

This reel is awesome. And for this price. Great gift in christmas. Gongon na na na.

I know shimano makes durable reels. In my opinion this reel is a steal for this price. This is a good quality inexpensive reel.

Reel to go with a south bend adventure pac telescopic fishing pole. Works great with an ultralight rod for trout fishing while backpacking. I do this to get really lightweight lures hanging down far enough.

I was bummed out when it finally fell apart after years and years of use.

These are inexpensive and have worked well so far.


A very good reel for the price.


I paid $12 for mine and it outclasses reels costing 4 times as much.


I paid 12 bucks about 20 years ago.

Packaging/appearance


I have it on a eagle claw pack-it collapsible rod.

Competitiveness


This 5 star rating is granted comparing it with other reels in it's class.


There is nothing on the market to compare to this reel.


If you compare it to any other reel in its price class it is light years ahead.


This reel is better than the "daiwa sweepfire-2b 240 yards 2 line spinning reel (ultralight)" reel that i bought before.
