Guess I am going to have to try one of these , after hearing 37.5 different people say you can't beat em . Probably won't hurt as bad as seeing Shimano citica and brand new rod bubbles in Turners by wellheads , Not that has ever happened to mind you .. But if it did my blood pressure would not spike as high as if it had ... With a Shimano and a new rod. Js sayin

In my opinion, it's one of the best reels out there.

The main problem that I have with them is the bearing that it is connected to the handle freezes. I stoped rinsing them with water and just keep them coated with Reel Majic and they seem to do much better. Just got another one. I think I have 6-8. Lol...Have all of them rigged and when I get into the fish hot and heavy I flip the fish into the boat and grab another reel. When it comes unhooked I grab the reel again. It's like hand to hand combat!

I have been fishing with them for years. I fish quite a bit and have had only one break. They are durable and cast extremely easy. I bought four more on Black Friday.
