These are going to be $29.99 on Black Friday.

I only fish about 10 times so I really don't need anything fancy.

On Academy's website they are rated a 4.9 out of 5 everything you read on the internet is true so they must be good right?

I have 2 that I use and I love them. They are smooth and work great for me. I may just go pick up 1 or 2 more as backup for that price.

Not a bad reel for the price.
Pretty similarly built to basspro reels, pinnacle,and Lews reels.

Been using 5 of them for about 4 years now. Never torn down any of them to clean but they are still clicking along fine. Best money I ever spent on a reel.
